Baba Harbhajan Singh Temple

Legend has it that 35 years ago while leading a pack of mules from his division at Tukla to Deng Dhukla in East Sikkim, Sepoy Harbhajan Singh went missing. After a search was launched, his body was discovered after three days by the army. It is also believed that he was one who led the soldiers to his body. Thereafter, many soldiers in the troop reported that Baba had been coming in their dreams asking them to build a shrine in his memory. A samadhi was thus made in his memory and called the 'Baba Harbhajan Singh Temple'. Many people believe Harbhajan Singh comes to the temple every night and does his rounds after putting on his uniform. People worship him as a saint who guards the lives of soldiers along the border.

Harbhajan Singh has come to be known as "Baba" and is treated as a soldier who never died by the Indian Army. Although he is no more, the soldiers believe his spirit lives on who protects and guards them. Across the border in China, the soldiers have reported seeing a turbaned sentry doing rounds at nights many times. The sentries believe that he visit his samadhi every night as his bedsheet is found crumpled every morning with his polished shoes turning muddy. Spooky, right?! Every year on 11th September, his personal belongings are sent by a jeep the New Jalpaiguri station, from where it is loaded and sent off in a train to his hometown Kuka, a small village in Kapurthala area of Punjab. Every year, his seat is left empty for the journey and 3 soldiers lead Baba Harbhajan Singh to his home. Even his salary is sent to his home every month to aid his old mother.
