We were visiting Gurudawara Jhari Saheb, which is located on the outskirts of village Tergay in Kasur district. 

Here we met with a local who told us that there are remains of another Gurudawara in the nearby village. We decided to visit that sacred site as well. After crossing the BRB canal, we reached a village named Katlohi Kalan. This village is located less than two kilometers from the Indian-Pakistan international border.

A tall abandoned building is standing outside the village, I have seen and documented many similar Sikh pre-partition architectures in  Lahore and Kasur border belt. The edifice suffered from vandalism as no Sikh was left after the 1947 partitions in this area.
