Gurdwara Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib, Agaulਗੁਰਦੁਆਰਾ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਤੇਗ ਬਹਾਦਰ ਸਾਹਿਬ, ਅਗੋਲGurdwara Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib, Agaul

Agaul is particularly useful for Pothi because it separates three evidence layers cleanly: a strong Guru-site tradition, precisely dated twentieth-century building work, and a reported 1893 lithographed Guru Granth Sahib that should be treated as a later textual artefact rather than a Guru-period relic.

The Sikh Encyclopedia records Agaul, around 10 km from Nabha, as the site of a Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji halt beneath a pipal tree on the bank of a pond. The old pipal was no longer present when the reference was compiled.

The pond, known as Ram Talai, was later lined and converted into a small sarovar. Local belief attributes relief from skin disease to its water. Pothi records this only as devotional tradition and makes no medical claim.

Construction of the gurdwara began in 1919 and was completed on 14 March 1935. The standard reference also reports a lithographed Guru Granth Sahib printed in Nanakshahi Samvat 424 / AD 1893. Its present custody, condition and accessibility must be confirmed before Pothi describes it as a visitor-visible artefact.

Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji is remembered as sitting beneath a pipal tree beside the village pond at Agaul during a regional journey.

Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji; Agaul/Agol sangat; later village committee and custodians.

• Ram Talai pond/small sarovar.

• Old pipal tree remembered in the tradition but reported no longer surviving in the standard reference.

• Gurdwara construction begun 1919 and completed 14 March 1935.

• Square divan hall extending from the sanctum.

• 1893 lithographed Guru Granth Sahib reported by the standard reference.

The Guru-period association belongs to the pond/tree landscape. The standing gurdwara dates from 1919-1935; the reported 1893 printed bir is also later than the Guru period.

• Guru Tegh Bahadur period: The Guru is remembered as sitting beside the pond beneath a pipal tree. • 1893: Lithographed Guru Granth Sahib copy reported as printed in Nanakshahi Samvat 424 / AD 1893. • 1919: Gurdwara construction begins. • 14 Mar 1935: Construction completion date recorded in the standard reference. • Present research state: Current manuscript custody, management, sarovar condition and entrance need re-verification.

• HG-506 Rohta - separate nearby Nabha-area Ninth-Guru shrine.

• HG-074 Baba Ajapal Singh, Nabha - historic post-Guru institution; different site type.

• Nabha-area route collection should reuse this physical ID in future Guru-specific views.

A lithographed Guru Granth Sahib printed in 1893 is reported by the standard Sikh reference. This is a significant later manuscript/print artefact, not Guru-period material. Current custody, condition and public visibility are Pending verification.

Older reference records a village committee. Pothi should verify the current managing body, exact gate, sarovar access and whether the reported 1893 bir remains on site before publishing visitor guidance.

The pond/sarovar and 1935-era shrine are the main historically described features. The old pipal should not be advertised as surviving because the standard reference explicitly says it was gone.

• HEALING CLAIM CONTROL: Ram Talai water belief is devotional, not a medical claim.

• RELIC CONTROL: 1893 lithographed bir must be reverified before showing it as an accessible relic.

• TREE CONTROL: old pipal is reported absent; do not invent continuity.
