Gurudwara Chota Nankiana Hujra Shah Muqeem, Okara |
This sacred shrine is situated on the road leading to Bonga Awan from Hujra Shah Muqeem and is exactly one km from the city. Sat Guru Nanak Dev Ji walked to this place fiom Manak Deke. Once it was a beautiful Guruasthan but now their are only fields. Even now the people know it by the name of Chota Nankiana. 9.5 Ghumaon of land is in the name of this Gurdwara in this village. Beside this Gurdwara Sahib owns land in a number of other villages. Fairs used to be held in Assu and Kattak but now a banyan tree and well stand as a reminder of the by gone day.
