History
The city is named after Har Sahai (1725 – 1750), who was the direct descendant of the fourth Sikh guru, the Guru Ram Das, in the eighth generation. The Pothimala building was built in 1705 and the locality of Guru Har Sahai was founded in 1745 by Har Sahai's father, Guru Jiwan Mal (born 1694), who was a direct descendant of the fourth Sikh guru, Ram Das, in the seventh generation. The Hargopal subsect of the Miharvan sect of Sikhism is based out of Pothimala in Guru Har Sahai. They maintain a following to this day amongst the locals and remain held in reverence, being direct descendants of the Sikh gurus and custodian of rare Sikh relics of the gurus.
