CHHOTA MIRZAPUR, a village in Mirzapur district of Uttar Pradesh, 18 km south of Varanasi (25 20`N, 82 58`E), is sacred to Guru Gobind Singh.

The present Gurdwara constructed recently on the site of an older one is, however, named Gurdwara Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur, Navami Patshahi, perhaps because at the time of his visit, Guru Gobind Singh had not yet been anointed Guru and the party travelling was only remembered as the family of the Ninth Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur.
