GURDWARA HATT SAHIB:

The place where the Guru had been working as a Modi, has been named as a Gurdwara Hatt Sahib. This lies to the South old fortress on inn which is said to have been built by Sher Shah Suri . Here the Guru had been distributing provisions to the people as if those belonged to them, uttering Tera'Tera'i.e., I am thine.

The Nawab's spies reported to him of the "confused" state of affairs in the commissariat and of the grossly "negligent" attitude of [Guru] Nanak its manager. The Nawab naturally got alarmed and sending for Jai Ram, the surety of [Guru] Nanak's good conduct ordered a thorough check to be made of accounts of commissariat, any property missing would have to be sternly accounted for, not only from the Guru but also from Jai Ram, his surety. The penalties for defaulters in State payments in those times were sever involving torture, mutilation and even death.

When, however the stores were checked it was found not only that there was no default of any kind, but there actually was some excess. The Guru's management was consequently commended by the Khan, who offered him a certain amount as reward for his honest and faithful service . The Guru refused to take the proffered amount and suggested to the Khan to distribute it among the poor.

There are eleven weights preserved in a room here these have been used by the guru for weighing the provisions. The building of the Gurdwara Hatt Sahib has been rebuilt with the effort of Sant Kartar Singh and Guru Sangat.

GURDWARA GURU-KA-BAGH

The building used by Guru Nanak as his residence after his marrige has been turned into a Gurdwara and has been named as Guru-Ka-Bagh it was here that Guru's two sons Shri Chand and Lakhmi Das were born.
