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

Located in the former village of Lehal, the two-story marble shrine contains decorated ceilings with stucco floral patterns and an octagonal domed chamber at each corner.

Guru Tegh Bahadur visited this location on January 24, 1672, during a widespread illness, and stayed beneath a banyan tree next to a pond.

The name Dukh Nivaran means 'eradicator of suffering' in reference to the healing that occurred following the spiritual leader's visit to the village.

The temple contains a holy water tank called sarovar, where visitors can immerse themselves following traditional Sikh customs and practices.

During construction of a railway line in 1920, workers refused to cut down the sacred banyan tree, leading Maharaja Bhupinder Singh to cancel the entire project.
