MUNĪARPUR, a small village in Kurukshetra district of Haryāṇā, 13 km east of Thānesar (29º-58'N, 76º-50'E) is sacred to the memory of Gurū Tegh Bahādur who stayed here for a night while on his way from Kurukshetra to ḍuḍḍhī and Banī Badarpur. A low platfrom was erected on the site where the Gurū had encamped outside the village. It was replaced by a modern Gurdwārā constructed in 1959-60 by Sikhs of the surrounding villages, there being few Sikh families in Munīarpur itself. Located inside a walled compound, the Gurdwārā has a small dīvān hall with a sanctum on which the Gurū Granth Sāhib is seated in a glass-panelled pālakī. The shrine is managed by a local committee. Devotees from the neighbouring villages gather on amāvasyā, the last day of the dark half of the month, when kīrtan and community meals take place.
