Gurdwara Chowa Sahib

[1][2][3] The first commemorative structure was built by Charat Singh, who installed a sarovar pool, and area for recitation of the Guru Granth Sahib.

[1] Sikh lore states that Sher Shah Suri attempted to shift the spring up the hill to use a source of water for the newly constructed Rohtas Fort.

[1] The temple stands at the base of a hill upon which the Rohtas Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is situated.

In 2020, a Sikh community organization based in USA, Ranjit Nagara, took over the rehabilitation and renovation of the Gurdwara.

The work is being done through international funding via a multicultural team to bring the Gurdwara back to its original form and function as well as adding new facilities.
