Gurdwara Dukh Nivaran Sahib is located in Patiala City, less than a kilometer from the Patiala railway station. The Gurdwara’s construction was started in the year 1930 and was completed twelve years later in the year 1942. It is said that Guru Teg Bahadur ji, the ninth Guru visited this place at the request of the villagers of Lehal—now a part of the Patiala city—during his stay at Saifabad, now Bahadurgarh. A small shrine commemorating the Guru’s visit existed here but when the proposal to construct the present Gurdwara was mooted in the year 1930, what remained at the spot was an old banyan tree and a well. A large sarovar also forms a part of the Gurdwara complex where the devotees invariably bathe whenever they visit the Gurdwara.
