Gurdwara Dukh Nivaran Sahib, Sikh temple in Patiala, India.

Gurdwara Dukh Nivaran Sahib stands in what was the village of Lehal, now part of Patiala. Its two-storey gateway has a collapsible iron gate and a black-and-white marble floor. The central two-storey building rests on a raised base with an octagonal domed chamber at each corner, topped by a pinnacled lotus dome with a round sun-window on each side. A small marble shrine on the left of the path marks where Guru Tegh Bahadur sat under a banyan tree.

Guru Tegh Bahadur visited this location on January 24, 1672, during a widespread illness and stayed beneath a banyan tree next to a pond. This visit is linked to healing that led to the establishment of the shrine.

The name Dukh Nivaran means 'eradicator of suffering', taken from the illness that ended after Guru Tegh Bahadur's visit. Devotees hold that the sarovar's water has healing power, and a large gathering takes place on the fifth day of the light half of each lunar month. Basant Panchmi, marking the Guru's visit, is the year's main festival.

The site has an open layout with prayer areas and a sacred water tank for ritual immersion following Sikh tradition. Visitors should wear appropriate clothing and show respect at the shrine, especially during prayer times.

During railway construction in 1920, workers refused to cut down the sacred banyan tree, causing Maharaja Bhupinder Singh to cancel the entire project. This episode reveals how deeply local reverence for the site runs through the community.
