History

This Gurdwara was built in memory of Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth guru of sikhs.[2] The gurdwara enjoys a high historic and religious importance among the followers of the Sikh religion world over. The Gurudwara has a palanquin "Palki" made of pure gold, donated by devotees.

Attractions

Inside the Gurudwara Paonta Sahib, Sirmour dist., Himachal Pradesh.

Sri Talab Asthan and Sri Dastar Asthan are the vital places inside the Sikh shrine. Sri Talab Asthan is used for disbursing salaries and Sri Dastar Asthan is used for organizing the turban tying competitions. A legendary temple is also attached to the Gurdwara which is rebuilt recently in the vicinity of Gurdwara compound. Kavi Darbar, a prominent place near the Gurdwara is the venue for holding the poetry competitions. The weapons and pens used by Guru Gobind Singh are displayed in a museum near the Paonta Sahib Gurdwara. The Gurdwara is visited by tourists from different states. The site is situated on the bank of the River Yamuna. This gurdwara serves langar (parshada) for all.

Another place of religious and historical importance is the Gurdwara built at Bhangani Sahib, about 1 km from Gurdwara Tir Garhi Sahib. With its proximity to the river Yamuna, the whole area presents a picturesque sight.
