History
The name of the Mansa district derives its name from the historical and religious town Mansa. The town is said to have been founded by Bhai Gurdas, who hailed from village Dhingar now in Mansa District. He is said to have been married at this place among the Dhaliwal Jats. Once he came to his in-laws to take his wife alongwith him, but they refused to send her with him. At this Bhai Gurdas sat in meditation before the house of his in-laws. After some time the parents of the girl agreed to send their daughter with Bhai Gurdas. But he refused to take her with him, stating that he had now renounced the worldly way of life. In his memory a Samadh was constructed where a fair is held every year in month of March-April. People in large number attend the fair and offer ladoos and gur at the Samadh.[1]
