Gurudwara Toka Sahib, established in honour of Guru Gobind Singh, who stayed here for a few days in 1688, is on the border of Himachal Pradesh and Haryana. The Gurdwara is in Sirmur district of Himachal Pradesh, but the nearest Village Tota, about one kilometre to the southeast, is in Ambala district of Haryana. The Gurdwara is a modest flat roofed room, with an allround verandah. An improvised hut near by serves as the residence of alone Nihang who looks after the Shrine.

There is an old well here which, according to an inscription, was dug in 1823 “in memory of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and Nawab Fateh Singh Ahluwalia.” According to another slab (inscribed only in 1968), Guru Gobind Singh came here with 2200 horsemen on 4 Baisakh 1742 Bk/ 1 April 1685 to help Raja Medini Prakash of Nahan. According to Gurushabad Ratanakar Mahan Kosh and Twarikh Guru Khalsa, however, Guru Gobind Singh halted here on his way back from Paonta to Anandpur in 1688.

The Gurdwara is located in Sirmur District of Himachal Pradesh, but the nearest Village Tota, about one kilometre to the southeast, is in Ambala District of Haryana. From Mianpur you have to cross the river called Roon to reach there. It is approximately 20 Km’s from Naraingarh.
Gurdwara Toka Sahib is a wonderful gurdwara which has been established in honour of Guru Gobind Singh, who stayed here for a few days in 1685 and again in 1688. This Gurdwara Sahib is situated in the peaceful area of Village Tota in Sirmaur district of Himachal Pradesh, at the border of Himachal Pradesh and Haryana. A road connects Toka Sahib with the city of Narayangarh (Haryana).

The natural surroundings of Gurdwara and the low population of the area make this a very peaceful and tranquil place. The Guru ka Langar (community kitchen) is available and food is served at most times. Another smaller Gurdwara called “Tapp Asthaan” is also built nearby where the Guru used to meditate in a solitary and peaceful location near the main Gurdwara Sahib. This is situated on a peak of nearby small hill.

Two Sikh soldiers who were wounded in the battle of Bhangani, died near Gurdwara Toka Sahib. A small Gurdwara is built as memorial to these brave soldiers on the bank of a Sarovar (pool).
