Gurudwara Pehli Patshahi at Manak Lahore

 

Gurudwara Pehli Patshahi at Manak, Distt Lahore Pakistan.

This village called Manak is located at a distance of 45 kilometer from Lahore on Raiwind road. You have to get down from the bus at Pajian to reach this’ village. It is about 4 kilometer off the main road. A metalled road leads to the village. When Jagat Guru came to village Pajian from Manga, the villagers initially welcomed him but later made fun of him. Jagat Guru left the village and stayed at this place outside the village. Some follower asked Guru Dev Ji as to why he had moved out of the village. Guru Ji said those were "Paji" (mean) and hence the village cane to be called Pajian and -the mound came to he known as Manak. It subsequently developed into a big village.

The 3-storeyed building of Gurdwara had been built beautifully and it was spacious. The complex included a Langar Hall, Prakashasthan, inn, foyer, and a diwan hall built like a haradari. There were Samadhis of Udasi Sadhus and a water tank close to the shrine. The tank has now become a stagnant pool. (doesn’t exist anymore)

These buildings are in the process of decay and may become a heap of dust. The central building collapsed during the last two years.
