Lord ShivaThe Shiv Mandir at Gur Mandi in the city of Jalandhar is a well-known and venerated temple of the Hindus. It is found that Nawab of Sultanpur Lodhi built the temple near Masjid Imam Nasar.

As have been found that a Nawab built the Shiv Mandir, it exhibits a blend of Muslim Hindu architecture. The main gate is built in the style of a mosque while the rest of the building exhibits the Hindu style.

There is a myth that when Nawabs used to rule Jalandhar, a Nawab had eyed a newly married Hindu girl who was a devotee of Lord Shiva. He wanted to her an object of his lust. But as she was a devotee of Lord Shiva, the serpent of Lord Shiva saved her honor. The Nawab begged pardon from the girl and on her bidding built the temple. Dating back to the Lodhi Era, this temple is entirely dedicated to Lord Shiva.
