Gurdwara Sahib Patshahi IX, Dirhbaਗੁਰਦੁਆਰਾ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹੀ ਨੌਵੀਂ, ਦਿੜ੍ਹਬਾGurdwara Sahib Patshahi IX, Dirhba

The record meets the physical-site threshold because the source gives both a named gurdwara and a landscape anchor, not merely a town-level visit. The pond and the shrine layout distinguish the parcel from other Sangrur route sites.

The Sikh Encyclopedia describes Dirhba as an old town southeast of Sangrur and identifies Gurdwara Sahib Patshahi IX as commemorating Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji during the third quarter of the seventeenth century.

The shrine is placed on the bank of a deep pond on the northwestern outskirts where the Guru is believed to have encamped. The standard account describes three small cubicles in a row, with the sanctum occupying the middle one and a square pavilion above it.

A hall was built facing the cubicles in 1955 by Mahant Pakhar Singh, also called Kishan Singh. A later complex with langar, pilgrim rooms and a small sarovar was added in 1978. These dated layers should be preserved in Pothi rather than flattening the whole complex into a seventeenth-century building claim.

Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji is remembered as encamping beside the pond at the northwestern edge of Dirhba.

Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji; Mahant Pakhar Singh alias Kishan Singh; Dirhba village/town sangat.

• Pond-bank location and encampment memory.

• Three cubicles with central sanctum in the standard description.

• 1955 hall facing the older cubicle row.

• 1978 langar, rooms and small sarovar expansion.

The Guru-period sacred layer is the encampment place beside the pond. The identifiable buildings are later commemorative layers, with twentieth-century dates explicitly recorded.

• Third quarter, 17th century: Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji visit/encampment remembered at Dirhba. • 1955: Hall constructed facing the row of cubicles. • 1978: Langar, pilgrim rooms and small sarovar added. • 2026 Pothi status: Exact gate, current committee and visitor facilities remain to verify.

• HG-550 Munak - later/nearby Sangrur corridor shrine; separate physical site.

• HG-116 Dhamtan Sahib - wider Ninth-Guru route anchor.

No portable Guru-period relic, manuscript or weapon is independently verified in the reviewed source.

Older literature records village-committee administration under SGPC auspices. Current gate, facilities and pond/sarovar condition should be checked before publication.

Visitors should expect a pond-linked memorial complex with clearly later architectural phases, not an original seventeenth-century building.

• SPELLING CONTROL: Dirhba and Dirba are locality spellings for one site.

• ARCHITECTURE CONTROL: the 1955 and 1978 additions must be dated correctly.
