Gurdwara Sahib Guru Granth Sahib
During the times of Guru Arjan Dev Ji, the village was known as Lakhu Pur. People of the village used to go to Amritsar
to pay homage to Guru Arjan Dev Ji. Remembering this, Guru Hargobind
Sahib Ji and Sri Guru Har Rai Sahib Ji visited Lakhpur where they held congregations to preach about Sikhism.

district and drains into the Sutlej
, near Harike in Amritsar
District. It also flows near Lakhpur.
Locals recall the flood of the mid 1940's, known as the Great Flood. It is said that the Chitti Bein breached its banks at a number of places, causing severe devastaion. The water reached as far as the gate of the middle part of Lakhpur.
So much damage was caused to the G.T Road near Chiheru that a new section of the Road had to be constructed.
The Chitti Bein is prone to seasonal flooding because seasonal torrent (stream)/torrents, known in Punjabi as choe's, drain into it. The most famous are the Maili Choe; the Jammanwala Choe and the Nasrala Choe.
The Maili Choe takes it name from the Maili Dam near the village of Maili in Hoshiarpur
District. It merges with the Chitti Bein near the village of Cheta (Nawanshahr
District).
The Jamanwala Choe winds it way through Hoshiarpur
district flowing near the villages of Panchhat
, Narur
, Nasirabad and drains into the Chitti Bein near Malikhpur
. Both these choe's drain into the Chitti Bein prior to flowing near Lakhpur. It is for this reason that there is wetland, near the Lakhpur woodland, which is caused when the Chitti Bein breaches its bank.
After flowing near Lakhpur, the Chitti Bein flows for some kilometres, and is joined by the Nasrala Choe which takes it name from the Nasrala bridge near the village of Nasrala on the Hoshiarpur-Jalandhar Road. It merges with the Chitti Bein near the village of Ucha. The Narur
