Gurudwara Parivar Vichora Sahib is located on the bank of Sirsa River.

The gurudwara symbolises the trageic incident after Guru Gobind Singh Ji evacuted Anandpur Sahib.

The Mughal army had promised the Guru to let them go unharmed if they evacuated Anandpur. However, the Mughals broke their promise and attacked the Sikhs near Sirsa river. Guru Gobind Singh divided his columns into two. While the part of the force was to engage against the enemy, the others were ordered to get across the river.

While the Sirsa River was flooded due to monsoon rains, still the sikhs rode their horses into the swollen stream with swords in their hands. Guruji along with his two sons and 50 followers reached the other bank.

Many Sikhs died crossing the river. In the chaos two younger sons of the Guru along with their grandmother, got separated and Guruji's family was no longer together.

Guruji's mother and his two younger sons were escorted by a servant Gangu to his village in Morinda.
