Gurdwara Nanak Piyao: It is situated on the GT Road, near Rana Pratap Bagh. Guru Nanak on his missionary journey to the East stopped in a garden on the outskirts of Delhi. Here he delivered inspiring sermons on his religious and mystical experiences through music and songs. Pundits, mullahs, yogis and sanyasis of Delhi came and debated with him on many religious issues of their interest and felt inspired by his thoughts and experiences. The owner of the garden built a shrine in memory of his visit, which was earlier called Pau Sahib, but is now known as Nanak Piyao. The well from which water was offered to wayfarers is still there. In the hot summer months, cool water is served to quench the thirst of travellers and food is given to the needy.
