MOHĪ, village in Ludhiāṇā district, 9 km from Jodhāṅ (30º-48'N, 75º-48'E) along the Gurū Gobind Siṅgh Mārg, has a shrine called Gurdwārā Pātshāhī Dāsvīṅ, dedicated to Gurū Gobind Siṅgh. Gurū Gobind Siṅgh passed through this village on his way from Ālamgīr and Jodhāṅ to Hehrāṅ at the end of 1705. It is said that Gurū Gobind Siṅgh halted here to have a tight-fitting ring removed from his finger by the village goldsmith. The present building of the Gurdwārā, constructed in 1936, is a square room with a verandah on all four sides. A wide dome covers the entire room. A 33-metre square walled bathing tank near by is called Sarovar Gurū Sar. The shrine itself is affiliated to Gurdwārā Sāhib at Hehrāṅ and is managed by a local committee under the over-all charge of the Shiromaṇī Gurdwārā Parbandhak Committee.
