Sikhs believe the site of the gurdwara to be where Guru Gobind Singh and his followers rested after the Battle of Chamkaur against the Imperial Mughal armies of Aurangzeb and where he was requested by his followers or the Sangat to write the Zafarnamah.[3]
The gurdwara is known for its uniquely coloured architecture and monuments depicting important events in Sikh history.[1] Additionally, the Dhaab (natural water reservoir), greenery, birds and trees made Mehdiana Sahib popular with pilgrims.[2] Today parts of the Gurdwara have become dilapidated due to a lack of funds resulting from its isolated location and private ownership status.[1]
