When Sri Guru Nanak Sahib Ji and Bhai Mardana arrived in Kanganpur the local villagers were extremely hostile and pelted stones at them. At this Guru Nanak said to the people "Wasdey Raho"(be settled) and departed from here. The Vann tree under which Guru Nanak stayed became known by the name of Mal Sahib. This tree is still there at Gurdwara Sri Mal ji Sahib Kanganpur. Departing from Kanganpur Guru Nanak and Bhai Mardana walked 2 km's north and set foot in the village Manakdeke, also known as Manak Deki, to the site of Gurdwara Sri Mal ji Sahib Kanganpur.
