Late Baba Harbhajan singh




Baba Mandir, located on the road to Kupup near Nathu-la in East Sikkim, is a popular tourist destination-cum-pilgrim centre for its association with the legend of Harbhajan Singh, a soldier of the 23rd Punjab Regiment who died while on duty in the late 60s. It is widely believed that even after his death, Baba continued to guard the border at night and look after the men on patrol.
