Guru ki Maseet, also spelt as Guru kī Masīt, alternatively known in English as Guru's Mosque, is a historical mosque (Punjabi: Masīta) that was constructed by sixth Sikh Guru, Guru Hargobind Sahib at request of local Muslims of Sri Hargobindpur.
History
As per Sikh accounts, Guru Hargobind had constructed a mosque in the eastern part of Sri Hargobindpur overlooking the riverbed for local Muslim settlers of the locality. Guru Hargobind also built a dharamsāl in Sri Hargobindpur for Hindus. In the aftermath of the partition of Punjab in 1947, the mosque lay abandoned. Nihangs took-over the complex and established a gurdwara at the site of the former mosque.
Restoration work began in 2010 by local Sikhs to renovate the structure.
