Tomb
of Gosh Muhammad
Gosh Muhammad was a famous saint revered equally by Hindus and Muslims.
A beautiful tomb was constructed using local hard black stone, after
his death in 1855 AD. It is an octagonal, domed structure with four
entrances. The corner pilasters, foliated arches on each side, doorjambs
and niches are exquisitely carved using floral motifs and the tree
of life. Inner walls are decorated with verse from the Koran using
beautiful calligraphy.

It is one of the sacred places associated with life of Guru Nanak
Sahib, the founder of the Sikh religion, as it is believed that
he embarked for Haj to Mecca from Lakhpat. The Gurudwara here was
constructed to commemorate this event, and it is visited by Sikhs
throughout the year. Other interesting structures at Lakhpat are
the mosque, a structure for keeping Tajia (a Muslim religious float)
and number of Hindu temples.
