Gurdwara Chhevin ate Navin Patshahi

Gurdwara Chhevin ate Navin Patshahi Chika, midway between Patiala in Punjab and Kaithal in Haryana, has a historical Sikh shrine known as Gurdwara Chhevin are Navin Patshahi, commemorating the visits to this place of Guru Hargobind and Guru Tegh Bahadur, although Guru Nanak Dev is also said to have come here during his travels in this region. Guru Hargobind passed through it probably in 1638 when he visited Kurukshetra. Guru Tegh Bahadur came here from Garhi Nazir near Samana on his way to Delhi in 1675, and stayed here with Bhai Galaura whom he appointed masand (preacher) in Hissar and Hansi area.

The historical Gurdwara inside the village at Chika has recently been reconstructed by Sevawale Sants based at Pehowa. It is magnificent double-storey domed building having a 80-feet square congregation hall at the ground floor. Guru ka Langar and residential accommodation for staff and pilgrims are in separate compound about 150 yards away from the Gurdwara.
