Devi Talab Mandir on Nakodar Road is a copy of the Golden Temple at Amritsar. Sodal Mandir stands on Pathankot Road in Laxmi Pura. Strolling is the draw at Nikku Park. Nakodar, 24 km from Jalandhar, has ruins of Kamboh settlements and two old tombs called the Black and Red Domes. The tombs date from at least the time of Jahangir, the fourth Moghul Emperor.
