Gurudwara Sadabarat: Gurudwara Sadabarat is situated on Nangal Road. It is said to have been built in the year 1930.

Later on Guru Har Gobind halted at this place while proceeding from Kartarpur to Kiratpur Sahib. Thereafter, Guru Har Rai and Guru Har Krishan, Guru Tegh Bahadur and Guru Gobind Singh also frequently visited the place. Keeping in view the importance of the place, Raja Bhup Singh, the ruler of Ropar started Langar and as such this place came to be known as Gurudwara Sadabarat.
