Gurdwara Sri Guru Har Rai Sahib Bhungarni marks the site where Sri Guru Har Rai stayed during the course of his journey between Kiratpur and Kartarpur.

A platform and a small Gurdwara was established inside the village in honour of the Guru's visit., was looked after for a long time by a line of Mirasi's (muslim bards or heralds) until the local Sikh sangat took it over in the days of the Singh Sabha movement.

Later, a new building was built on the site. The cornerstone was laid on 19 March 1917.

Now known as Gurdwara Sri Guru Har Rai Sahib Bhungarni, the Gurdwara is managed by a local committee under the control of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee.

Besides the daily services, diwans are held on the first of each Bikrami month. The major festival of the year is Vaisakhi which is celebrated with special meaning as the birth of the Khalsa.
