When the 6th Guru visited Srinagar, the Sikh Preacher at that time was carrying on the Manji was Sewadas. This Gurdwara Manji Sahib was the place of stay of the Guru for nearly 3 months. The Guru held his congregations and delivered discourses to his devotees. One of the devotees was Bhai Sewadas’s mother, Mai Bhagbhari. Mai Bhagbhari had sewn a gown for the Guru with here own hands and cherished a wish that the Guru should visit here and wear the same. When the Guru visited the residence of Mai Bhagbhari and fulfilled her wish, she got the best of her happiness. This place now is the site of Gurdwara Chhevin Patshahi, located on the Jhelum River and Dal Lake outside Kathi Gate of Hari Parbat Fort. The Guru stayed there till Mai Bhagbhari left the world and he supervised her last rites. The popularity of this Gurdwara among the tourists, visitors and the local people has really immortalized Mai Bhagbhari.
