The gurdwara is located about 1.8km from the India–Pakistan border and about 1.2 kilometres east from the village Qadiwind,[a][4][5] on the Kasur-Qadiwind road.[6][7]

History
Guru Amar Das' visit to Tergay Village
According to many historical accounts Guru Amar Das, the third guru of Sikhism, visited the area of what is now Kasur district sometime around the 1500s[8]. The villagers welcomed him, and urged him to stay. He agreed, and a small gurdwara was built there. During his stay, Guru Amar Das tied his horses to the trees nearby, which have now withered away.[7][9][10]
Pre-1947
The gurdwara was mentioned in many scriptures until roughly 1930, and it was also known as Agadhi Pachadi Sahib.[8] It was also known for the holy trees, present until 1947, that Guru Amar Das tied his horses to during his stay and their annual Vaisakhi festivals, which occurred every April. [11]
Deterioration of the Gurdwara's pillars
In recent years, the gurdwara's pillars were severely deteriorating, posing a risk of collapse.[1] Major Sikh organisations urged the Punjabi Government to restore the pillars and prevent the collapse of a gurdwara in Pakistan that is heavily influenced by the travels of Guru Amar Das. The gurdwara has been referred to as an 'important cultural and historical landmark.'[12]
Restoration of the Pillars and current status
Around November 2025, The Punjabi Government approved the restoration of the pillars of Gurdwara Jhari Sahib. The pillars were rebuilt with new bricks.[13] Every year on Vaisakhi a fair is held.[14] Other than that, the gurdwara lays in an open field and is currently considered abandoned. The Gurdwara had five ghumaons of land in its name, [8] which 2.5 ghumaon (roughly 1.01 hectares) went to Bhai Sulakhan Singh of Qadiwind and the other 2.5 ghumaon to the locals by the Gurdwara.[6]
