History
This Gurdwara is situated in between Gurdwara Sri Tambu Sahib and Gurdwara Sri Hargobind Sahib. Gurdwara Sri Tambu Sahib was under the control of Nihang Sikhs. Mahant Bhai Sharam Singh had taken over the task of serving Guru Granth Sahib at the behest of Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee whereas Nihang Ujagar Singh, opposed this and established a separate Prakashasthan near Gurdwara Sri Tambu Sahib. The Prakashasthan established by Nihang Sikh, known as Nihang Singh Chaoni (camp), became known as Gurdwara Nihang Singhan and is still standing beside the Gurdwara Sri Tambu Sahib. Prakash is not held on both the places now. No land endowment stands in the name of Gurdwara.
