RAILI

RAILI, a small village 12 km from Sirhind (30° 37`N. 76° 23`E) in Fatehgarh Sahib district, claims a historical shrine dedicated to the Ninth Guru. Before 1947 Rail! was predominantly a Muslim village, with only a few Kamboj Sikh families. These Sikhs maintained a platform as a memorial to Guru Tegh Bahadur`s visit. The present Gurdwara was built in the early 1950`s. It has a square hall with a low platform in the middle as the sanctum. The Gurdwara is managed by a village committee in which members of the old Kamboj families take a leading role.
