Guru Hargobind rested here and tied his horse with Karir kila (hitching post) which grew into a tree.

During the day, Guru Hargobind would often hold diwans to teach the Sangat.

Guru Hargobind stayed here for 21 days. Guru Hargobind's family stayed in village Kailey.

The Sikh army stayed on the outskirts of village Dhalian. Kailey and Dhalian villages are about 3-4 km from Littar.
