Another Matth where Guru Nanak is said to have meditated is right beside Shobha Bhagwati temple, Dallu on the banks of Bishnumati temple.
Stories, passed down generations, tell that Guru Nanak meditated at a location where Singha Durbar presently stands. Later yogis who started following the Udasi practice of Guru Nanak continued their meditation at Singha Durbar. However, at the time of the construction of Singha Durbar these yogis were asked to move to a new location. Later they were relocated to Shobha Bhagwati in Dallu.13
Priest Gyani Gurubaksh Singh shares that at Shobha Bhagwati Matth, too, inside a two-storied brick house, you will find the hath likhat (handwritten) Guru Granth Sahib and the caretaker performs the daily rituals and prayers holding the sanctity of the forgotten Guru Nanak Matth at Shobha Bhagwati. In the courtyard of the Matth hangs a bell used for worshipping which has Gurmukhi inscriptions again symbolising the significance to the Sikhs and historians. On the bell, the main mantra of Guru Nanak Ek Onkar is inscribed which means ‘there is only one God ‘and symbolises the importance of the belief in oneness of God and the oneness of humanity.
