SEHRĀ SĀHIB, GURDWĀRĀ, on top of a hillock near Basī or Basantgaṛh village, one kilometre south of Gurū kā Lahore in Bilāspur district of Himāchal Pradesh, is dedicated to Gurū Gobind Siṅgh who halted here for a short time on his way to Gurū kā Lahore for his marriage in 1677. According to tradition the Gurū donned his sehrā or a bridegroom's floral headband here. The Gurdwārā, a square domed room with a circumambulatory verandah, was constructed by Sant Sevā Siṅgh of Anandpur Sāhib in 1962. It is managed by the Shiromaṇī Gurdwārā Parbandhak Committee.
