Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji arrived here following Khanzada Rustam Khan in the Winter of 1693-94.

The Gurdwara was rebuilt by the local sangat in 1960 is called Gurdwara Sri Dashmeshgarh Sahib (lit. Fort of the Tenth Master).

It is a small square sanctum with a circumambulatory verandah around it. The Gurdwara is managed by a committee of the local Sikhs.
