SARTHALĪ, a village 10 km south of Nūrpur Bedī on Ropaṛ-Nūrpur Bedī road in Ropaṛ district of the Punjab, is sacred to Gurū Gobind Siṅgh, who arrived here from Anandpur on a brief visit. Gurdwārā Raṇthambā Sāhib Pātshāhī Dasviṅ on the southern periphery of the village marks the spot where the Gurū is believed to have stayed awhile. The sanctum is a 3.75-metre square domed room in front of which a hall was built in 1970. A 21-metre-high Nishān Sāhib stands on the left front of the main building. It is an unscheduled Gurdwārā affiliated to the Shiromaṇī Gurdwārā Parbandhak Committee and is managed by a committee of the local saṅgat.
