Buria is an ancient town located on the right bank of the
Yamuna River. This place is about 4 km east of

Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth Sikh
guru, had halted here during one of his journeys. There is a
Gurdwara dedicated to him, founded by Mat Hukam Kaur Dhilvan Vali, a Sikh follower. Built in 1920, this gurdwara draws a large number of devotees.

Shah Jahan.
