Hadiabad is a historic sub-town in the city of Phagwara in Punjab (India), about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) west of Phagwara sub-town.[1] It is the biggest area in size on the western part of the city. Many Sikh followers worship at the gurdwara Chhevin Patshahl.
Hadiabad is treated as a sacred place because Guru Hargobind, the sixth Sikh guru, visited there in 1635.[1] The gurdwara and historical shrine Chhevin Patshahi is located in Hadiabad, as a three-storey pavilion with an octagonal dome.[1] In the main hall, the Holy Guru Granth Sahib is displayed. All major Sikh festivals are celebrated there, along with daily worship by many devotees who travel to Hadiabad to offer their services. Mansa Devi Mandir and the Vishwakarma Temple are nearby.[1] The Pathshala predates the Gurudwara, indeed the gurudwara stands on land donated by the pathshala.
