History
According to legend, Bassi Pathana was founded in 1540. As the name suggests, it was a city of Muslim Pathans. Bassi Pathana was visited by 9th Sikh master Guru Teg Bahadur Ji and 10th Sikh Master Guru Gobind Singh Ji. There is one Historical Gurdwaras (Sikh Temple)in the city in their memory. A Temple of Sh. Namdev ji is also situated in this city. This historic city has one temple named as Brahmghat, where a sage called Rishi Ajgawanand is said to have meditated here for years.
During one of those meditaion sessions he accidentally put his leg in the Agni (Fire) which is traditionally lit while meditating. He was so involved in meditation that he did not realize that he had lost his leg in the fire. When his disciples saw that he had lost his leg, they made a leg of wood and brass. He was so delighted with this gesture that he blessed this city and said that no misfortune can ever strike this city. If a misfortune is sensed then this leg (after his death) should be moved through each house and misfortune will go away. Bassi city also had a old railway station which was built during the Britishers rule in India.
