According to local tradition, the jand tree (Prosopis spicigera) and the old well in the Gurdwara compound have existed since before the time of the Guru`s visit.

Situated on a sandy mound amidst cultivated fields about one kilometre to the northwest of the village, the Gurdwara is referred to in the Gurushabad Ratnakar Mahan Kosh as Gobindgarh, but is locally known as simply Kutia, i.e. a cottage.

A platform and a small shrine, established inside the village in honour of the Guru`s visit, was looked after for a long time by a line of Mirasi (Muslim bards or heralds) priests until the local Sikh sangat took it over in the Singh Sabha days. Later, a new building was raised on the site (cornerstone laid on 19 March 1917).
