Bhai Vir Singh Sahitya Sadan was built in 1958, in memory of the father of modern Punjabi literature and Saint-Poet of India - Bhai Vir Singh. It is a simple and classic memorial hall at Amritsar, where Bhai Sahib spent most of the years of his life and wrote some of his elegant works has been built. The domestic portion of the Niwas Asthan of Bhai Sahib is being protected as a monument. Some rare paintings and colored photographs duly positioned have been presented in the Niwas Asthan. Bhai Vir Singh Niwas Astha, which has since been renamed as Bhai Vir Singh Marg, has been transformed into a Museum-cum-Library.
