Gurdwara Degsar Sahib, popularly known as Gurdwara Katana Sahib, is situated along the Sirhind Canal near the GT Road in the Katana village of the Ludhiana District.

Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji visited this site on 20th Phagun (1618 AD). Guru Hargobind had 7 cannons, 1100 horse riders and Chandu Qaidi (the one who was involved in Guru Arjan Sahib's martyrdom).

Guru Hargobind rested here for a night and tied his horse to a 'Ber' tree.

Guru Gobind Singh Ji also visited the place while on his way to Alamgir from Machiwara in 1705. Disguised as the 'Uch Da Pir', Guru Gobind Singh was accompanied by Bhai Daya Singh, Bhai Dharam Singh, Bhai Maan Singh and the two muslim brothers Bhai Nabi Khan and Bhai Gani Khan who were serving as his palki bearers.

Guru Gobind Singh's bed was placed under the 'Ber Sahib' where he rested for the night. It is believed that Guru Ji had his first meal since leaving Machiwara and that he distributed the 'Deg' with his holy hands and named this place as 'Degsar Sahib'. They say that whoever offers Deg with faith here, their hopes are fulfilled by Guru Ji.
