Aeroplane Gurudwara or Shaheed Baba Nihal Singh Ji Gurudwara is one of its kind in the country. This holy shrine is frequented by visa-seekers. It is believed that if you pray in this temple and offer a toy aeroplane, you will get your visa soon enough.
No one knows who came up with this unusual idea of offering aeroplanes to the shrine. However, there is a story behind this strange belief among locals. Many years ago, a group of boys who were waiting for their visas offered toy aeroplanes at the gurudwara and prayed for the fulfilment of their wish to go abroad. And their wish was granted!
Since then, the shrine is popularly known as Aeroplane Gurudwara or Hawai Jahaz Gurudwara. At the end of each day, the toy planes are collected and given to young children who come here to pay their respects as prasad.
Aeroplane Gurudwara was built around 150 years ago by Harnam Singh, a disciple of Baba Nihal Singh Ji. It houses the samadhi of Baba Nihal Singh and is a famous place of worship among locals and tourists.
