Although it is believed that Durgiana Mandir was built in 1921, the temple existed before it was rebuilt in 1921.[citation needed] It is confirmed by record in Amritsar District Gazetteer of 1893, which spoke about the Durgiana Sarovar and "Devi dwara" surrounding it which was visited by Hindu pilgrims.[4]
