Gurdwara Sachcha Sauda

Gurdwara Sachcha Sauda (lit. true bargain), it stands between the Mandi (market) and the town of Chukarkana. Its domed sanctum in the middle of a square hall stands in a fort-like enclosure which served as a refugee camp for thousands of Sikhs ousted from their homes in 1947. The Gurdwara was liberated from the centuries-old control of Udasi mahants by Khalsa Divan Khara Sauda Bar under the leadership of Jathedar Kartar Singh Jhabbar on 30th December 1920.
