Gurudwara Dukh Niwaran Sahib: Where Faith Meets Miraculous Relief in Patiala
Gurudwara Dukh Niwaran Sahib is situated in the historic Lehal village area of Patiala, where Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji is said to have meditated under a banyan tree by a pond in January 1672, healing the village from a mysterious epidemic. The site gained its name, which means “Eradicator of Suffering,” because the illness reportedly vanished following his blessing.
The present grand complex, completed in 1942, spans several acres and features a stunning marble façade, an ornate double‑storied gateway with black-and-white marble flooring, and a lotus‑crowned golden dome. The interior boasts intricate stucco floral ceilings, marble pillars, and a serene Sarovar (holy pond) whose water devotees believe has healing properties. Religious ceremonies, devotional music, and free communal langar are hosted daily, embodying Sikh values of service and compassion. Every Basant Panchami, the Gurudwara is beautifully illuminated and attracts a vast gathering of devotees seeking spiritual solace and blessings.
