History

Hadiabad is treated as a sacred place because Guru Hargobind, the sixth Sikh guru, visited there in 1635.

The gurdwara and historical shrine Chhevin Patshahi is located in Hadiabad, as a three-storey pavilion with an octagonal dome. In the main hall, the Holy Guru Granth Sahib is displayed. All major Sikh festivals are celebrated there, along with daily worship by many devotees who travel to Hadiabad to offer their services. Mansa Devi Mandir and the Vishwakarma Temple are nearby.

Transport

Hadiabad is connected by Hadiabad main road, which starts off from the city centre, past the Adarsh Nagar Flyover and on to Hadiabad main road. Phagwara Junction Railway Station is the closest railhead. Ludhiana, 82 kilometres (51 mi) to the south, has the nearest airport.

Emperor Jehangir gifted this land to a pir as hadiya, hence the name.Diddi family lives in Mohalla Diddian. Who was this pir? It is mentioned in Jehangir's autobiography.
