Dera Jeevan Nagar:

Dera Jeevan Nagar is located 30 kilometres away from Sirsa. It is located to the west of the city. It is a significant holy site for the Namdhari people. The holy term given to the office holders is Naamdhari, which refers to anybody who desires to get initiation or education from the Guru and is prepared to heed his teachings for the rest of his life. Any location where the dera is constructed or where the Namdhari people live is called a "Chichal." The saint Jeevan Kaur, the mother of the late Pratap Singh, gave it its current name. Most of the adherents in this location come from Sheikhpura, Sialkot, and Gujranwala, which are now part of Pakistan and where people began relocating following the country's division.
