About this place
History & highlights
The temple is linked to legends of a miraculous child, Baba Sodal, whose blessings are believed to help with family welfare and children’s health. Over time, the simple samadhi developed into a prominent temple complex. The Sodal Mela, observed on an annual tithi (usually around September), gradually became one of Jalandhar’s largest local fairs. Travel listings now routinely include Sodal Mandir among the city’s key religious and cultural attractions.
