Gurdwara Koohni Sahib

Guru Gobind Singh, Manimajra

Koohni Sahib Originally known as Bageecha Sahib, this shrine ( Gurudwara ), situated on the Chandigarh-Mansa Devi road, is not so popular as yet, although it has a unique history. Guru Gobind Singh and his army stayed here for a week. It is said the Guru came here especially to meet Mata Raj Kaur, wife of Ram Rai, who left Dehradun in order to stay away from her husband who was extending support to the Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb. Since Guru Gobind Singh rested here on his elbow, the shrine is named Koohni Sahib. Devotees assemble here on the death anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev and on 26th January every year, on the occasions of Jor Mela and the death anniversary of Sant Baba Mehar Singh.

Shri Koohni Sahib is a Gurudwara located in Mani Majra on the outskirts of Chandigarh.
It is a large and beautiful Gurudwara. It is a couple of kilometres from another famous religious location, Mata Mansa Devi.
It is believed that Guru Gobind Singh visited this village in 1746 on the request of a devotee. During his stay, he was well looked after. Pleased with this the Guru blessed his devotee, that a temple would be constructed in her name, before a Gurudwara.
