There is a touching story associated with this temple. Harbhajan Singh was a Sentry of Punjab Regiment and was posted here as part of border patrol force. The border with China is nearby. In October 1968 he disappeared. It is said that while escorting mules carrying provisions, he fell into a stream and drowned. After a few days he reappeared in the dreams of one of his sentry colleagues and asked him to make a memorial here on his name.
The sentries then made a samadhi and later this temple was built. Although Harbhajan Sing is no more, the sentries and guards here believe that his spirit is still alive and he is therefore treated as a living being. They all believe that Harbhajan will guard and protect them in this very difficult terrain.
In fact there has been reports that Chinese soldiers across the border having seen a turbaned sentry doing his rounds at night. Many sentries here believe that Harbhajan comes here every night as his camp bed sheet gets crumpled every morning and his polished shoes turn muddy by the evening.

Gangtok is the capital of Sikkim (one of the 28 states in India) Elevation is around 5000 feet. Tempratures are around 20 t0 23 degrees Celsius. It has a lot of hotels to choose from. If one comes for a short duration then be sure to chhose a hotel very near to MG Marg. But if one has time that is around 10 days, then choose a resort or a good homestay away from main Gangtok. Most people go to Changu lake, east sikkim, but try west or north sikkim to fruitfully enjoy sikkim. BAD POINTS...Roads are very bad. Lot of traffic jams. Bagdogra to Gangtok is around 5 to 6 hours journey. So plan well for escaping. If you so not want to miss your train or flight, then start 8 hours prior to departure. All the best.Not the best time to visit the city as most of the places are closed due to snow. People who like to see snow can go during December month. Please stay in a hotel with a room heater as the temperature would be really cold.
