Bhai Bhiba Singh Gurdwara
Khyber PakhtunkhwaGurdwaraProtected
A Sikh period Gurdwara building, built by Sikh leader Maharaja Ranjeet Singh (circa 1780-1839). However, it is also believed to have been established at the time of 10th Sikh guru, Gobind Singh, who died in 1708, making this structure to be more than 300 years old. The Gurdwara was one of the most visited places of worship for Sikhs before partition, but after 1947, many Sikh families migrated to other places and the building remained under the Auqaf department. In 2013, Rs.7.5 million was spent on the renovation of this Gurdwara and Rs.1 million was spent on minor repairs after the decision was taken to reopen the Gurdwara.
