Baba Natha Singh Jee was a Nagarchi Singh of Guru Gobind Singh Jee Maharaaj. Guru jee gave him shastars, sarbloh simrana, kanghaa etc. Guru Jee ordered Baba Natha Singh to do parchar in Punjab. This is the Gurdwara Sahib where Baba Natha Singh Jee stayed for the rest of his life and did Gurmat Parchar. A puratan Nishan Sahib was recently hoisted by the Baba Baljeet Singh Jee who is the Mukh Sevadaar there. The Khanda on the top of Nishan Sahib was painted by Baba Ji as it must have got rusted. The colour of the Nishan Sahib is yellow(basanti) and not the present day kesri nishan sahibs we see.
