PAVĀDĀṚĀ or Puādhaṛā, village 16 km west of Phillaur (31º-1'N, 75º-47'E) in the Punjab, is sacred to Gurū Har Rāi who made a halt here while travelling from Kartārpur and Nūr Mahal towards the Mālvā country, across the River Sutlej. The shrine commemorating the visit is named Gurdwārā Gurū Har Rāi Sāhib Pātshāhī VII. It is an old enclosure, with a square domed sanctum in the centre and a cloister along the compound wall. The Gurdwārā is managed by the village saṅgat.
