According to local tradition, supported by an old handwritten document preserved in the Gurdwara, one Bhag Ram, a Jhivar of [[Lehal, Patiala|Lehal]], waited upon the ninth Guru of Sikhs [[Guru Tegh Bahadur]] during his sojourn at Saifabad (now Bahadurgarh). He requested that the Guru might be pleased to visit and bless his village so that its inhabitants could be rid of a severe and mysterious sickness that had been their bane for a long time.

The [[Sikh gurus|Guru]] visited Lehal on Magh sudi 5, 1728 Bikram/24 January 1672 and stayed under a [[Banyan|banyan tree]] by the side of a pond. The sickness in the village subsided. The site where Guru Tegh Bahadur had sat came to be known as [[Gurdwara Dukh Nivaran Sahib|Dukh Nivaran]], literally meaning eradicator of suffering. Devotees have faith in the healing qualities of water in the Sarovar attached to the shrine. It is still believed that any illness can be cured by 'ishnaan' on five consecutive [[Panchami]]. It is in the vicinity of Patiala Bus Station.
