The presence of such a Gurudwara in Paonta Sahib often connects it to the historical presence and activities of Sikh Gurus in the region.
Visitor etiquette
Respectful Conduct – When visiting, it's customary to cover your head (scarves are usually provided or you can bring your own), remove your shoes before entering the main prayer hall, and dress modestly. Photography may be restricted in certain areas, so it’s always good to observe signs or ask. Maintain silence and respect during prayers and ceremonies.
