Location: on the
Chandigarh-Mansa Devi road
Significance: Guru Gobind Singh along

for a week
Located on the Chandigarh-Mansa Devi road,
Koohni Sahib Gurdwara is not a very popular
shrine, but has a unique story associated
with it. Chandigarh Kuhni Sahib Gurdwara
was originally known as Bageecha Sahib.
It is over here that Guru Gobind Singh Ji
along with his fellow warriors had taken
a halt for a week. People are of the say
that the Guru had come over here mainly
to meet Mata Raj Kaur, wife of Ram Rai.
She had left the Dehradun city just to stay
away from her husband, who was supporting
the Mughals. The story behind the naming
of Gurudwara lies in the fact that while
on his stay over here, Guru Gobind Singh
rested on his elbow. Gurudwara Bageecha
Sahib near Chandigarh is a must visit pilgrimage
spot.
