He stayed in the garden, under a cluster of trees. A Sarovar has also been built near the Gurdwara Sri Badshahi Bagh Sahib.
Every year a big festival is held here on the Vaisakhi, regarded as the birthday of Khalsa Panth. Keeping in view the historical importance of three holy Gurdwaras nearby, Haryana Tourism has set up a new tourist complex 'Kingfisher; at a strategic site on the main highway. This complex has 10 air-conditioned rooms, a restaurant, a swimming pool, and all other ancillary recreational facilities. The tourists on their way to Simla, Chandigarh, and Bhakra Nangal by road, enjoy the facilities provided in this complex.
The Gurdwara was also established by Sardar Mehar Singh of Nishananwali Misl. Gurdwara Sri Badshahi Bagh Sahib was destroyed by the British shelling on a rebel force during the 1857 mutiny. It was rebuilt only in 1931 by Bhai Gurmukh Singh of Patiala. Its present building is however the result of another reconstruction, this time by Sants of the Nirmala sect who are still managing it.
