Gurdwara Rakabsar Sahib is located 200 meters east of Gurdwara Tibbi Sahib. According to local tradition, as Guru Gobind Singh Ji came down from the Tibbi and was going to mount his horse, the stirrup rakabs called in Punjabi snapped. Hence the name of the Shrine was called Gurdwara Rakabsar Sahib. That Rakab is still kept in the Gurdwara. The birthdays of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Guru Gobind Singh Ji and Shahidi purab of Guru Arjun Dev Ji are celebrated with great fervour here. Besides, the Magh Mela is organized on the 12th and 13th of January to commemorate the sacrifice of the Forty Muktas. Diwali and Baisakhi are also celebrated.
Gurudwara Rakabsar Sahib is situated in the Muktsar city. Guru Gobind Singh ji was going to mount his horse, the stirrup (rakabs) broke suddenly. That stirrup is still preserved in Gurudwara Sahib. Guru Sahib rode horse and after reaching khidrana di dhaab, he retied the broken ties.
