The Gurudwara is historically linked to the sixth Guru, Hargobind Sahib Ji, who preached in this region.
The name 'Reru' specifically refers to a species of tree that has historically grown in the surrounding semi-arid landscape of Punjab.
The shrine is situated directly on the historic Grand Trunk Road, an ancient trade route connecting South and Central Asia.
The site acts as a major resting point for 'Pad-Yatris' (pilgrims traveling on foot) during large religious festivals.
