History
This sacred shrine of Sahib Guru Hargobind Ji is on Kashmir Road in Mansehra City. He came here while returning from Kashmir. The Sikhs of the Gurus built this Gurdwara at the site where he had stayed and pleased the loving Sangat by providing them with an opportunity to look at him. This Gurdwara is three storeyed and the Prakashasthan is in the hall of this Gurdwara. The tiles bearing the name of those who have served the Gurdwara are fixed on the flour and the walls_ Captivating pictures are drawn on the walls. Once prakash used to take place but now it is just a building.
Planning tip
Best Time to Visit, April–May or September–November. The Mansehra hills have cold winters and a heavy monsoon (Balakot, up the Kunhar valley, averages about 384 mm in July). The three-storey gurdwara on Kashmir Road keeps its wall paintings and donor tiles, though the survey found no prakash now.
