GAGGOBŪĀ, village 27 km southwest of Amritsar (31º-38'N, 74º-52'E) along the Amritsar-Khemkaran road, is sacred to Gurū Hargobind (1595-1644), who came here once following the chase. Gurdwārā Mañjī Sāhib Chhevīṅ Pātshāhī, constructed at the site of the old shrine, marks the spot where Gurū Hargobind had halted. The Gurdwārā is affiliated to the Shiromaṇī Gurdwārā Parbandhak Committee.

         Gaggobūā was also the native place of Bābā Bīr Siṅgh a nineteenth-century saint, whose memory is perpetuated through two gurdwārās, both managed by his descendants.
