GURU SAHIB took rest under Reetha (Soapnut) tree. He held much spiritual discussion with the Gorakhpanthi Jogis, who lived here. When Bhai Mardana ji asked GURU SAHIB for food, GURU SAHIB asked Bhai Sahib to Ask the yogis. Yogis denied and asked Bhai Sahib to ask your GURU if he is such a Spiritual Man. Then GURU NANAK DEV JI asked Bhai Mardana ji to eat Reetha, a fruit on the tree which are normally bitter in taste but When Bhai Mardana ji plucked Reetha Fruit and he found it was Sweet. The reetha's were sweet on the side which GURU SAHIB was sitting, and bitter on the side on which Yogis were sitting. The yogis got angry and set a snake on tree with there powers. When GURU NANAK DEV JI looked on the Snake, it got frozen. Even today Reetha fruit is Sweat to eat and is distributed in Prasad. Tree still stands in the Premises of the GURUDWARA SAHIB.
