Major Sikh shrine on the Yamuna where Guru Gobind Singh lived and wrote much of the Dasam Granth in the 1680s.
Guru Gobind Singh came to Sirmaur at Raja Medini Prakash's invitation and camped by the Yamuna, founding Paonta. Much of the Dasam Granth is said to have been written during his stay of about three to four years. The domed gurdwara keeps his relics, a museum of his weapons and pens, a gold palki, and the Talab Asthan and Dastar Asthan sites; the Kavi Darbar nearby hosted poetry gatherings.
