Guru Gobind Singh Ji arrived here from Narainpur in 1746 Vikram Samvat (1689 CE), responding to prayers from a Brahmin girl named Anpurna, who meditated in the area

Guru Ji meditated for 17 pahars (around 2 days and 3 hours). Anpurna served Guru Sahib and the sangat with heartfelt hospitality. Pleased with her devotion, Guru Ji blessed that a temple in her name would precede the Gurudwara, and that devotees who visited with faith would have their wishes fulfilled

Situated in Bhainsa Tiba village of Manimajra (now Chandigarh), about 1 km from the revered Mata Mansa Devi Temple

Origins of the Name: Originally called Bageecha Sahib, it became known as Koohni Sahib—“Koohni” meaning elbow—because it’s believed Guru Gobind Singh rested on his elbow during his stay here.
