About Buria

Buria is a small town and municipal committee situated on the banks of the Western Yamuna Canal approximately 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) from the city of Jagadhri. The presence of Birbal Dwar (Birbal Gate) in the village indicates that the town was once governed by Birbal, court advisor to the Mughal emperor Akbar. Other attractions include The Pataleshwar Mahadev Shiv Mandir, The Sanatan Dharam Hanuman Mandir (both Hindu temples) and a Gurudwara (Sikh temple) in remembrance of the ninth Sikh Guru Tegh Bahadur. The town was part of a princely state before Indian independence and was ruled by Ratan Amol Singh, whose family still reside in the town.
