Between the two red flowers the hoof print of Guru Gobind Singh Ji's horse can be seen. This gurdwara is called Puthii Sahib. On his way to Anandpur Sahib Guru Sahib Ji stopped off and asked a person if there was a place to stay. In mocking fashion the man replied that there is this large furnace you can stay in. The furnace was fired and extreamly hot. Guru Ji's horse put his paur (hoof) on the furnace and it cooled immediatly. Guru Gobind Singh Ji stepped into the furnace and spent the night there.

From here Guru Sahib Ji sent his two elder Sahibzaday (sons) to do battle and saw them martyred.
