  Gurudwara Rantham Sahib:
  Gurudwara Rantham Sahib preserves the memory of tenth master of Sikhism Guru, Gobind Singh. This is a historical Gurudwara. The Mughals of Bajrur are brutal to common people, so Guru Gobind Singh sent an army group in the command of Sahibjada Ajit Singh, they fought with bravery and get common people free. Here, at the place of this gurudwara, the battle has been stopped so it is sid Ran (battle) Tham (commencement).
