Guru Hargobind, the sixth Sikh
Guru, is said to have stayed here in 1631.
To commemorate the visit of the guru, Gurdwara Manji Sahib Chhevin Patshahi has been constructed in the south-west of Birk. The village becomes a festive scene when thousands throng Birk during the major festival of this
gurdwara.
The nearest railway station is at Faghwara (4km).
