The historic town of Lalyani is situated on the Lahore-Ferozpur road. A very famous village by the name of Daftu is located at a distance of four Kilometer from Lalyani. The beautiful building of the Gurdwara inside the village in visible from a distance. It is said that this was the Gurdwara where Baba Bullhe Shah took refuge when he was banished from the village by the Chaudhris (Leaders) of Pandoki. It is a very big fort-like Gurdwara. 80 Squares of lands is said to be endowed to this gurdwara by Bibi Isher Kaur the famous sardarni (chieftain). The house of Bibi Isher Kaur is in the village popularly known as Ishero-de-Mehel (the palace of Ishero) which is gradually becoming a heap of dust.

There are two villages by the same name i.e., Sahari in tehsil and district Kasur and have earned the name Hardusahari (hardu in 'Persian' means both). The village can be reached by Tonga from Kot Murad Khan of Kasur otherwise you have to get down at Bhilla Hatthar railway station. The Gurdwara Sahari Pir is located in the outskirt of the village and his samadh too is built adjacent to it. The tank has changed into a pool of stagnated water. The building is strong being new. 85 ghumaon of land granted to the Gurdwara is located in this village. The Muslims of the village call this place Sahari Pir. He left a will saying that after his death his body should be built within walls in an upright position at the cremation grounds so that none is hurt whether they burry or cremate their dead. A sheet of cloth with Quranic verses covers his Samadh now and Muslim villagers recite Quran. A fair is held annually. Muslim fakir_ looks after the shrine. Pir Sahari Chhina Jat became a great saint after becoming a Sikh of Guru Amar Das Ji. "Gangu uper sahar bharu" (Gur parsad)

When Sat Guru Nanak Dev Ji came to establish this town the local people did not let him settle and pelted stones at him. At this Sat Guru said to'-these people "Wasdey Raho" (be settled) and departed from here. The wan tree under which he had lived was known by the Name of Mal Sahib, This tree is still there. departing from here he set his foot in the village Manak De ke. The people of this village gave him great honour and love, but Guru Dev cursed them to be scattered. Bhai Mardana Ji was surprised at this and asked: why those who gave you pain, you gave them your blessing of remaining settled. But you cursed these to be scattered who had honoured you. Gur Dev Ji said, "These people will spread virtue wherever they go after being scattered while the others will spread evil wherever they go. This is why it has been ordained for those to be settled and for these to be scattered.

Kangan Pur is still settled. A Gurdwara Sahib is built here. Its priests were Namdhari Sikhs. Now Prakash does not take place here. A fair used to held on the first of Chait.

According to the local legend that the descendants of those who had pelted stones at the Guru Dev suffer from gilhar (a throat related disease) and it is the only area in the whole of Punjab where people suffer from this ailment. Its building was constructed in 1939. It is in good condition even today but there is absolutely no maintenance.

Gurdwara Bhai Phero stands majestically at the end of the local Anarkali Market in the town which has also taken the name of Bhai Phero. Both are situated sixty kilometers from Lahore on the Lahore-Multan road presently in in Pakistan.

The present Gurdwara was built by the then Mahant in collaboration with the local Sangat in 1910.

Though the word Mahant seems similar to Masand, (at least to my 'western' ear) the Mahants were men, often Hindus - at first very sympathetic to the Sikhs, who had been entrusted with managing Gurdwaras, since the days when having a turban and untrimmed beard was the same as having a death warrant on one's head. Under the British , who did not see a strong Sikh revival in their best interests, many Mahants, especially after the turn of the century had taken to seeing themselves as the hereditary owners of the Gurdwaras, the Gurdwaras' lands and funds; with many even going so far as to include murtis, Nauch girls and debauchery in the Guru's (the SGGS) and Waheguru's Earthly Doorways. Practices considered very beadabi to Sikhs. That they fought this practice in India's first peaceful morcha, only on their part (as thousands were brutally killed or wounded during the protests, is a great credit to the teachings of Guru Nanak and the other Sikh Padshahs.

See origin of non voilence  for more reading on the movement for the Sikhs to regain control of their own houses of worship. Only in todays 'Tibet' can I even think of a similar situation where foreigners have taken control of another Religions' places of worship.

According to the agreement reached on 21st Dec 1922, the responsibility of maintenance of the Gurdwara was handed over to the Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee by the Mahant on 28th December 1922. The Gurdwara's caretaker was not one of the many who had not disgraced their Gurdwara and Sangat, as the Committee sanctioned a monthly allowance of Rs.400 for the Mahant.

The village Alpa is in tehsil Chunian of Kasur district. A road from Pattoki leads towards the River Ravi. Halla, a well known town lies on this road and is famous being a dairy farming. Alpa is located at a distance of twelve kilometer from Halla right on the bank of River Ravi. Jagat Guru Nanak Dev Ji arrived in this village from Nankana and stayed for a while. Earlier this shrine was about four kilometers outside village Alpa but now a village called Chota Nanakiana Alpa has been built here. Once upon a time Prakash used to take place here and fair used to be held on Visakhi. Only three rooms stand now which housed a Govt School. These rooms-are now lying vacant. The roofs have caved in. There is a huge estate endowed in the name of this shrine in this as well as in some other villages.

This shrine is situated in tehsil and district Kasur. One has to get off the train at Rao Khan Wala or Raja Jang railway station. Its distance from both the railway stations is about 12 kms. This shrine is in village Kalu Khara and hence it has been named as Kalu Khara Ram Thaman. Baba Ram Thaman Ji was the son of Guru Nanak Dev Ji's maternal aunt. He was a prapti Sadhu. During his life time Guru Nanak Dev Ji visited this place on several occassions. The Gurdwara has been built beautifully in the style of a fort. There is a large tank which has now become a pool of dirty water.

A beautiful temple is built at the main gate of this tank. A fair used to be held every year from 14th of Chaiter to Visakhi. This fair is still held but lacks the luster of the past. Thousands of i acres of land and an estate has been granted to this shrine. A shrine called "Gave di Mal" is in front of this Gurdwara where beautiful buildings have been built. Justice Baba Bay Nath Ji was a renowned resident of this village: Mela (Fair) of Baba Ram Thamman was organised jointly by the people of the area irrespective of their religion or creed. Now the Muslims organise this fair and the Hindus, Jains, Christians and Buddhists from Lahore enthusiastically participate.

Gurdwara Pehli Patshahi was once a beautiful Gurdwara of Jagat Guru Nanak Dev Ji in the village of Bhail. Bhail is located next to the village of Rossay. Both villages are located on Manga-Kasur road about 4 kilometers off the metalled road. Kasur city, is in Pakistan very near the India border.

Jagat Guru stayed in the village for some time while going to Ram Thaman from Manga. Only one arched door of the Gurdwara has survived; the Prakashasthan has vanished. Though the once beautiful gate or doorway still is an architectural treasure which still displays the engineering of the complicated brickwork.

Refugees are currently settled in the residential quarters of the gurdwara.

At Gurdwara Holan Sahib, Bharnawan a keeper of the field by the name of Sultan once presented roasted green chick peas to Guru Nanak Dev Ji during his travels. He rose to distinction after becoming a follower of Guru Nanak Dev ji. Sultan himself built a platform over the site where later a Manji Sahib was built. The small Gurdwara that was built on the site later collapsed.

From Bhai Phero, a well known town of Kasur District, this village is located on Multan road about two kilometers towards Lahore.

Today there is a pool of dirty water in the village which was once the tank of this sacred place. 700 ghumaon land is endowed to the Gurdwara.

There are two villages by the name of Sheikam in Kasur district. The village where this Gurdwara is located is about three kilometers from Pattoki on the Pattoki-Halla road and has a population in the thousands. The Gurdwara Panjvin Pathsahi is in honor of a visit by Guru Arjun Dev Ji. It is located in the centre of the village. The fifth Guru arrived here from Beherwal.
