Lehal, Patiala
Lehal, now Patiala, was the famous village because of the visit by Sikhs' ninth Guru (Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib ji) but now this village is a part of Patiala city. History

The Gurudwara Dukh Nivaran Sahib is situated in what used to be the village of Lehal, now Patiala city. According to local tradition, supported by an old handwritten document preserved in the Gurudwara, Bhag Ram, a Jhivar of Lehal, waited upon Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji during his sojourn at Saifabad (now Bahadurgarh) and made a request that he might be pleased to visit and bless his village so that its in inhabitants could be rid of a serious and mysterious sickness which had seen their bane for a long time. The Guru visited Lehal on Magh Sudi 5, Samat 1728 Bikrami being 24 January 1672 and stayed under a banyan tree of a pond. The sickness in the village subsided. The side where Guru Tegh Bahadur had sat came to be known as Dukh Nivaran, literally meaning eradicator of suffering. The Gurudwara when completed passed under the administrative control of the Patiala state government. But it eventually transferred to the Shiromani Gurudwara Parbandhak Committee. Geography
