This is the place, where Guru used to hold his court and wrote the major portion of the Dassam Granth.
The Guru also built the Paonta Fort. It was built in over hundred acres of land, which housed not only his followers, but as many as 46 famous poets.


The Guru left Paonta Sahib after the battle of Bhangani with Raja Fateh Shah, in which he defeated the errant ruler’s army after thirty days of battle. The Guru stayed there for over four years.The Gurudwara is situated at an elevation of of 200m a.s.l. Within its precincts are the Sri Talab Sthan, where the Guru disbursed salaries. Sri Dastar Sthan is where he judged the turban-tying competitions. At the Kavi Darbar Sthan, poetic symposia were held.A museum displays pens of the Guru and weapons of the time.
