==Karsewa at Gurudwara ==
Before 1937, the gurudwara was maintained by mahants. A small gurudwara was constructed by the local people. The land for the Gurudwara was donated by Nawab Mehndi Ali Khan. Karsewa began in 1975. The gurudwara building has marble all over. The complex consists of the main hall, the langar hall, the parikarama, the sarai, offices, etc. A second gurudwara, Gurudwara Patshahi Sixth, is also present here. The [[Ficus religiosa|pipal]] tree under which Guru Nanak Dev sat can also be seen between the main building and Gurudwara Patshahi Chhevi.

About 140 km from this shrine is another famous spot called [[Gurudwara Reetha Sahib]]. When Guru Nanak along with companion [[Bhai Mardana|Mardana]] visited this place, he took rest under a [[Soapnut]] (Reetha) tree.
