The gurdwara is located less than 4 km away from the Radcliffe Line, marking the international border between India and Pakistan. After the partition of India in 1947, the gurdwara became abandoned and was occupied as a residence by westward migrants from India. The gurdwara is visible from Nushehra Dhala village in India. During the 1965 Indo-Pakistani war, soldiers from the [[Sikh Regiment]] of the Indian military captured the site.{{Cite news |last=Brar |first=Kamaldeep Singh |date=27 November 2023 |title=Website stumbles on forgotten gurdwaras in Pakistan closer to Radcliffe Line than Kartarpur Sahib |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/chandigarh/forgotten-gurdwaras-pakistan-radcliffe-line-kartarpur-sahib-9043252/ |access-date=23 February 2026 |work=Indian Express}} The Indian soldiers repaired the dome of the gurdwara which had been damaged by shelling and installed a ''[[Nishan Sahib]]'' flag at the top of the structure. The gurdwara has been documented on Gurudwarapedia via geo-tagging. The gurdwara is located at the coordinates 31°26'40.9"N, 74°33'57.7"E.
