Historical Sites in The City
Being a historical heritage, the city has many historical sites, mainly Gurudwaras like:
- Sri Darbar Sahib
- Gurudwara Tambu Sahib
- Gurudwara Taran Taran Sahib
- Gurudwara Tibbi Sahib (at the battlefield)
- Gurudwara Rakab Ganj Sahib
- Shaheedan Da Gurudwara
A few years ago, a new monument was built in the shape of Khanda Sahib, near DC office, in the memory of the forty martyrs.
- Mosque: After partition it was used as a Gurudwara, but in 1996 it was handed over to the Wakf Board under an arrangement between the Wakf and the SGPC. Now Namaz is read all five times a day and the considerably growing population of Muslims at Sri Muktsar Sahib have it as their paramount religious and cultural center.

And there is little or no fun done;
Small justice shown, and still less pity.”
