located along the Jain College Road, close to an old tank called Labbhu ka Talab is sacred to Guru Gohind Singh.
According to local tradition, Guru Gobind Singh, during his visit to Ambala in 1670-71, in order to humble the pride of an arrogant Muslim divine, Pir Nur Din , miraculously made sparrows kill the Pir`s hawk. The hawk, chased by the sparrows, fell down dead near Labhu ka Talab. It was a Muslim locality. Pir Sayyid Shah, another Muslim divine, witnessed the miracle from here, and sought from the young Guru the favour of a spring of sweet water as the wells in the area were brackish. The well dug at the Guru`s instance still exists in the backyard of the gurdwara. The present building, however, was constructed only after 1947. It consists of a single flatroofed hall, which includes a square sanctum, marking the site of the original shrine.
