Gurudwara Baoli Sahib Guru Arjan Dev Ji Lahore​

This Gurudwara is situated in the famous busy market of Dabbi Bazaar in the centre of Lahore city. One side of this Gurudwara adjoins Dabbi Bazaar, the second is adjacent to Laha Bazaar, the third opens on Kesera Bazaar and the fourth borders to stay there. The Guru got a baoli built there.In A.D. 1599, when Guru Arjan Dev, the redeeemer of the mankind came to Lahore, Bhai Chhajju Bhagat came along with a pathan to pay his respect to the Guru and put a bag full of 282 mohars at the feet of the Guru, requesting him to utalise the same for religious works. The Guru asked as to where this money had come from. On this, the Bhagat narrated the story thus: "My pathan friend gave me this bag to keep in safe custody but my accountant (munim) forgot to register this money in his ledger (Vahi-Khata) and by the passage of time, I too, forgot all about it. When the pathan came asking for his money, I refused to pay as my records mentioned nothing of the sort. The case was taken to the official (Hakam) where the pathan lost his case. But while cleaning the shop before Diwali, I found the bag. I put extra Rs.100 therein and try to return the same to my friend with apologies. But the pathan refused to take it as he had lost the case. Niether he considered that money his nor could take it as mine. That is why we have brought this amount to the Guru Darbar". The Guru appreciated their truthfulness and started to build a baoli with that money at this place. At the instigation of Diwan Jaspat Rai, this holy shrine was demolished by Yahaya Khan, the Nawab of Lahore and was turned into the residential quarter. Maharaja Ranjit Singh in 1834 A.D. rendered service to this place and got a new building erected and a sarovar dug. Shops were built on all sides as to bring revenue for the management of this shrine. He got a darwaza built near the baoli as a memorial. Bhai Nihal Singh was made responsibe for the Sewa of this place. In 1903 A.D. Sri Guru Singh Sabha, Lahore started weekly congregations here. When Sant Attar Singh Visited this shrine in 1911 A.D., he started the daily recitation of Asa di var. In 1927 A.D., The Gurdwara came under S.G.P.C management, but the congregations at the time of Gurpurs were held by Singh Sabha, Lahore. At time of partition, Bhai Dalip Singh was martyrized on 11th August, 1947​

Gurudwara Manji Sahib -Ambala​

Ambala city is situated on the National Highway popularly called Sher Shah Sun Marg about 190 km from Delhi and 48 km from Chandigarh.<O:P> This city was sanctified by the sixth Guru Sri Hargobind and Sri Guru Gobind Singh the tenth Guru. Gurudwara Manji Sahib was constructed at the place where the sixth Guru stayed during his visit to Ambala city. The grand building of the Gurudwara is located on the G.T. Road (Sher Shah Suri Marg). The devotees visit this shrine to have a dip in the tank nearby. They also take Amrit from the Baoli constructed by the sixth Guru, during his stay here.<O:P> Gurdwara Baoli Sahib or Gurdwara Manji Sahib - Guru Hargobind is said to have stayed here overnight while on his way to meet emperor Jahangir. The villagers of the nearby Khurampur Majri complained of perennial scarcity of drinking water. The Guru encouraged them a dig a baoli and instructed some Sikhs who lived here to assist the villagers in digging and lining the baoli. The Guru was pleased to see the work completed on his return from Delhi. The Sikhs established a memorial platform, Manji Sahib, at the place where the Guru had stayed near the baoli. But the baoli again got partly filled up and fell into disuse. After the conquest of Sirhind in 1764, when the Dal Khalsa distributed territories among various misls, Ambala was occupied by Sardar Mehar Singh of Nishananwali Misl. He got the baoli cleared and cleaned and established a Gurdwara at the site of the manji Sahib. This is the present Gurdwara Manji Sahib, the premier Gurdwara of Ambala. Maharaja Hira Singh of Nabha (1871-1911) rebuilt it in the beginning of the 20th century. Further development took place after 1947. The Gurdwara is close to the first bus stop of the city when approached from Punjab by the Grand Trunk Road. The old baoli is still there and therefore the Gurdwara is also called Baoli Sahib. </O:P></O:P>​

Gurudwara Gobind Pura – Ambala

Gurudwara Gobind Pura – Ambala​

Guru Gobind Singh came to Ambala, on his way back from Kurukshetra to Anandpur Sahib, where he had gone on the occasion of solar eclipse to preach the name of God and the message of Guru Nanak. Gurudwara Gohind Pura was constructed by faithful disciples of the tenth Guru near the railway station of Ambala city. It is said to be the holy place where Guru Gobind Singh gave some Amrit to sparrows which got so much courage and strength from it that they killed the hawk of Qazi Mir Din greatly revered by the people.
Gurdwara Gobind Pura Sahib is associated with Guru Gobind Singh Ji. When the Guru made sparrows fight and then kill Pir Amir Din’s hawk, the hawk fell at this place. Guruji visited this place then and uttered his famous words:
Chirion se main baaz turaun, Tabe Gobind Singh naam kahaun Gidderon se main sher banaun, Tabe Gobind Singh naam kahaun Nichon se main ucch banaun, Tabe Gobind Singh naam kahaun Sawa lakh se ek laraun, Tabe Gobind Singh naam kahaun. (It is when I make sparrows fight hawks that I am called Gobind Singh It is when make I lions out of wolves that I am called Gobind Singh It is when I make the lowly rise that I am called Gobind Singh It is when I make one fight a hundred thousand that I am called Gobind Singh)
Pir Sayyid Shah, another Muslim cleric, witnessed the miracle and sought from the young Guru the favor of a spring of sweet water, as the wells in the area were brackish. Guru Gobind Singh Ji sanctified the water of a well that is still present in the Gurdwara and ordained that whoever would bathe there would achieve salvation
A beautiful building consisting of a Main Hall, the Dashmesh Barat Ghar, Library, Dispensary and Staff quarters has been constructed here
Two other Gurdwaras, dedicated to the memory of Guru Gobind Singh, who is said to have visited it during his stay at Lakhnaur in 1670-71, are connected by a legend that young Gobind Rai made sparrows kill a hawk. These are, Gurdwara Badshahi Bagh patshahi Dasvin enar the civil courts, and Gurdwara Gobindpura Patshahi Dasvin located along the Jain College Road close to Labbhu Ka Talab (lit. Labbhu's pond). It is said that Guru Gobind Singh came on a hunting excursion. Once Pir Nur Din or Mir Din, the haughty priest of the shrine of Pir Gaib Shah near the site of Gurdwara Badshahi bagh, ridiculed the young son of a holy man going out hunting and boastfully brought out his own hawk for a kill. It was then that Guru Gobind Singh set some sparrows against the Pir's hawk which flew away badly mauled and fell down dead near Labbhu Ka Talab, where another Pir, Sayyad Shah, saw the miracle, and came to pay homage to the miracle-maker. Pir Nur Din, too, his pride now humbled, fell at the child's feet and asked his forgiveness and blessing. Pir Sayyad Shah also prayed for a well of sweet water because the sub-soil water all around was brackish. Guru Gobind Singh pointed to a spot where to dig, and surely enough the water of the new well tasted sweet. This two Gurdwaras were also established by Sardar Mehar Singh of Nishananwali Misl. Gurdwara Badshahi Bagh was destroyed by British shelling on a rebel force during the 1857 mutiny. It was rebuilt only in 1931 by Sant Gurmukh Singh of Patiala. Its present building is however the result of another reconstruction, this time by Sants of the Nirmala sect who are still managing it. The present building of Gurdwara Gobindpura is also a product of post-independence era.​

Gurudwara Badshahi Bagh - Ambala


Gurudwara Badshahi Bagh, near district courts Ambala city, commemorates the visit of Guru Gobind Singh who stayed here while coming from Lakhnaur, where he had gone to meet his maternal parents. He &amped in the garden, under a cluster of trees. A tank has also been built near the Gurudwara Badshahi Bagh.
GurudwaraBadshahi Bagh commemorates the visit of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the Tenth Guru, who visited this place around 1670 during one of his excursions to Lakhnaur. While on a hunting trip one day on his horse, he came to a big garden just outside the city of Ambala. Then only a small child of eight years, he had with him his white hawk as well. The garden belonged to Pir Amir Din, the custodian of the Muslim shrines of the city. He happened to be present in the garden at the same time. Pir Amir Din had with him a black hawk. On seeing Guruji’s white hawk, the Pir took a liking to it and began thinking of how to take it himself. He threw a challenge to the Guru for a fight between the two hawks. But, Guruji realizing the real intention of the Pir, refused and said that instead of the hawk, he would make sparrows fight the Pir’s hawk. The Pir laughed and said that sparrows were food for his hawk, but Guruji repeated his words. With this, Guruji called upon two sparrows that were sitting on a tree to fight with the hawk. The sparrows fought so ferociously that the hawk was injured badly. It finally fell to its death about a kilometer away, near Labbu ka Talaab, the site of GurudwaraGobindpura. The Pir realized his folly and built a platform in honor of the Guru. It is here that Guru Gobind Singh uttered his famous words: Chirion se main baaz turaun, Tabe Gobind Singh naam kahaun. (It is when I make sparrows fight hawks that I am called Gobind Singh)
Every year a big festival is held here on the Baisakhi, regarded as the birthday of Khalsa Panth Keeping in view the historical importance of three holy shrines, Haryana Tourism has set up a new tourist complex 'Kingfisher; at a strategic site on the main highway.
This complex has 10 air conditioned rooms, a restaurant, a bar, a swimming pool and all other ancillary recreational facilities. The tourists on their way to Simla, Chandigarh and Bhakra Nangal by road, enjoy the facilities provided in this complex.

Gurudwara Lakhnaur Sahib - Ambala<O:P>​

</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>​

</O:P>

Lakhnaur is a small village, situated at a distance of 12 km from Ambala city, on Ambala-Barrola road. Here the tenth Guru spent about seven months during his childhood. The child Guru used to play his favourite game of mock warfare.Sayeed Bhikhan Shah, from Thaska near Thanesar, to pay respects to the child Guru here. Earlier this Muslim holy man had dreamt that a great prophet has taken birth as Gobind at Patna. He went all the way to Patna from his home and bowed before the child Guru. He also presented two baskets full of sweets to him. He had expected that the Guru would accept one basket But the Guru placed his hands on both the baskets, thereby signifving that he would bestow his love and affection, on both Hindus and Muslims.<O:P>
Another Muslim saint, Pir Arif Din, enjoying great respect visited Lakhnaur and bowed before the child Guru. His disciples resented this action of the holyrnan. The Pir quietened them, by saying that he had bowed before none else than the Lord, whom he saw manifested in the child.<O:P>
Gurdwara Lakhnaur Sahib is associated with the Tenth Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Lakhnaur was the ancestral home of Mata Gujri Ji, the mother of Guru Gobind Singh. Guruji came to this place with his mother and uncles from Patna and spent some time here. The Muslim cleric, Pir Bhikhan Shah met the young Guru at this place. Another Muslim cleric, Pir Arif Din also paid obeisance to the young Guru at this place. Guruji spent his time playing with his friends. Mata Gujri's well, sarovar and Baoli are remnants of the visit of Guru Gobind Singh Ji to this village. Among the other articles associated with the Guru and his family on display here include are the Guru's bed, Mata Gujri's bed, weapons and utensils used in the langar
Gurdwara Lakhnaur Sahib derives its name from the village it is situated in. Lakhnaur is an old village 10 kilometres south of Ambala City and 7 kilometres from Ambala Cantonment. It was the ancestral village of Guru Gobind Singh's mother, Mata Gujari, whose father, Baba Lal Chand Subhikhi, and brother Bhai Mehar Chand, lived here. The marriage of Guru Tegh Bahadur to Mata Gujari had however taken place at Kartarpur near Jalandhar, and Lakhnaur had not been visited by the Gurus until Guru Gobind Singh, then a child of four years, arrived here from Patna in September 1670. He was accompanied by his mother, Mata Gujari, and grandmother, Mata Nanaki, and his maternal uncle, Kirpal Chand. Guru Tegh Bahadur had left Patna earlier and traveling via Delhi joined the family here at Lakhnaur, again to proceed onwards alone leaving the family behind. They stayed at Lakhnaur for over six months until, summoned by Guru Teg Bahadur, they joined the latter at Chakk Nanaki (Anandpur Sahib). It was at Lakhnaur that Pir Shah Bhikh (Bhikhan Shah) came and made his bow to the young Gobind Rai whose birth he had divined earlier as an event propitious for humanity. Another Muslim divine, Pir Arif Din, is also said to have made obeisance to Guru Gobind Singh here. After the departure of the holy family, the house in which they had lived during their stay at Lakhnaur, was maintained as a holy shrine. During the later half of the eighteenth century when the Sikh misls held sway over the entire Punjab from Indus to Yamuna, the house was converted into a proper Gurdwara. The Cis-Sutlej region fell under the British rule early in the nineteenth century. Soon after 1849, Maharaja Narinder Singh of Patiala acquired Lakhnaur and surrounding territory from the British in exchange for some of his own elsewhere. Gurdwara Lakhnaur Sahib continued to be maintained and administered under Patiala's Dharam-arth Board upto 1956, when, consequent to the merger of P.E.P.S.U. in Punjab, the administration passed to the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee. The Gurdwara building in the centre of a large walled compound has some distinctive architectural features. Sta ding on 10-feet high ground, it is itself within a high enclosure. The 20-feet square sanctum, with a high dome on the centre of the roof and a kiosk at each corner, is entered through a rectangular vestibule covered with elongated dome. The entire interior including the cupola is artistically painted. A vast congregation hall, 120x40x10-feet has been constructed in the outer compound recently. A deep-bore well has been installed within an old baoli or open well. Another well in the open ground outside the village, half a furlong from the Gurdwara building is called Mata Gujari da Khuh (Mother Gujari's Well). This was constructed within an older but dilapidated well at the instance of Mata Gujari in 1670-71, and still used as a source of sweet drinking water.

The Gurudwara at Lakhnaur is visited by devotees of all relgions,to pay respects to the memory of the tenth Guru.<O:P>
Location :Gurdwara Lakhnaur Sahib is located on the Ambala Barola Road in village Lakhnaur, about twelve kms from Ambala City. ​

Gurudwara Panjokhra Sahib- Ambala

Gurudwara Panjokhra Sahib- Ambala



The Gurdwara is dedicated to the memory of the eighth Guru Sri Harkrishanji. He visited this place on his way to Delhi. it is situated on the Ambala-Naraingarh road. The Guru during hisjourney, from Kiratpur to Panjokhra, travelled through Ropar, Banur, Raipura and Ambala. Along the way he gave the universal message of Guru Nanak, to disciples, who came to call on him. As he neared Panjokhra, a disciple spoke with humility, <SUP>"</SUP>Respected Sangats are coming from Peshawar, Kabul and Kashmir for Darshan. Kindly stay at Panjokhra for a few days so that they may have the chance of seeing their beloved spiritual perceptor." The Guru agreed to extend his stav in this village.
There lived a learned Pand it, Lal Chand by name, who was proud of his caste as well as of his learning. He came to see the Guru with devotion and asked, "It is said that you sit on the gaddi of Guru Nanak, but what do you know of the old religious books?"
By chance Chhaju Ram, an illiterate dark-skinned village water carrier happened to pass by at that moment. Guru Harkrishan asked one Dargah Mal to call him. As Chhaju Ram came, the Guru enquired if he would explain to the Pandit the gist of Bhagavatgita. Saying so, the Guru placed his stick over the head of the water carrier, who astonished every one by giving a convincing commentary on the sacred book. Lal Chand's pride was overcome. Rumbly he fell at the Guru's feet. Both he and Chhaju Ram became the disciples of the great Guru and travelled with him upto Kurukshetra.
It is said that Pandit Lal Chand entered the fold of Khalsa, in Guru Gobind Singh's time and took the name, Lal Singh. He met with a hero's death fighting in the battle of Chamkaur, on December 7, 1705.
According to historical records, Guru Harkrishan on reaching village Panlokhra, made a boundry of sand and said that any one who wanted to see him, should stand there, make his supplication and he would have his desire fulfilled. A shrine has been built at the site. *There are many shrines in and around Kurukshetra connected with Gurus. The place has been visited by Guru Nanak, Guru Amar Das, Guru Har Rai,
Gurdwara Sri Guru Har Krishan Sahib Ji - 10 kilimetres northeast of Ambala City along the Ambala-Naraingarh road, marks the spot consecrated by Guru Har Krishan, by his stay during his journey from Kiratpur to Delhi in February 1664. The Guru had been summoned to meet the Emperor Aurangzeb. A large number of his followers, disturbed by summons from one known to be a bigoted tyrant, had followed the young Guru. As the caravan arrived at Panjokhara at the end of the third day of their journey, the Guru told them all except a few on the household staff to go back to their homes with a firm belief in the rightness of divine dispensation. There lived in Panjokhara a Brahaman, Krishan Lal or Lal Ji, who was proud of his learning. Seeing the young Guru, he sarcastically remarked that the boy who bore the name of Krishna could not even read Krishna's Bhagwad Gita. Guru Har Krishan simply smiled at the Brahman's impudence and, calling a passerby, Chhajju the water-carrier, made the latter give a discourse on Gita. Such was the erudition of Chhajju that Lal Ji Pandit bent his head in shame and besought the Guru's forgiveness. The Guru resumed his journey after three days stay at Panjokhara. A small memorial raised in honor of the Guru was developed into a Gurdwara during the Sikh Rule, and during the past decade or two has become a vast complex including the double-storey sanctum entered through a spacious hall, Guru ka Langar with a vast dining hall, and enclosed sarovar and ancillary buildings for staff and pilgrims. Besides largely attended Sunday morning congregations, an annual fair is held on Magh Sudi 7 to 9 (January - February) commemorating the days of the Guru's stay here over 300 years ago.
*Details here after pertain to shrines at Kurukshetra town
Guru Hargobind, Guru Tegh Bahadur and Guru Gobind Singh. Of all the places of pilgrimage here, Brahmsar is considered the holiest. It is said that here Brahma performed yagna. Bathing in the tank on the day of solar eclipse,gives a person the benefit of a thousand Ash wamedha yajnas. On the north-western end of the tank, stands a Gurudwara. It was built to commemorate the visit of Guru Gobind Singh.
Another Gurdwara dedicated to sixth Guru Sri Hargobind stands close to another holy tank,called Sannihit tank. There are many other shrines associated with Gurus. When Guru Hargobind visited Kurukshetra on the occasion of the solar eclipse, he met many Bibeke Sikhs who were holding congregations. He was much pleased to see that they were, able to grasp Guru Nanak's message according to his teachings. Thousands of Hindus and Sikhs visit holy ·Kurukshetra on the occasion of Kumbh niela on solar eclipse. Here Lord Krishna gave the message of the celestial song called Bhagavatgita to Arjuna before the commencement of the Mahabharata war. Haryana Tourism has set up a tourist complex at Pipli near Kurukshetra Railway Station. It provides facilities to tourists and pilgrims. Besides there is a restaurant, and spacious lawns for garden parties. This historical place is 152 Km from Delhi.​

Gurudwara Triveni Sahib



This Gurdwara commemorates the visits of four Gurus. Guru Nanak Dev Ji came here on his Udasi towards the East during time of Kalu Chaudhri. Kalu Chaudhri heard the preachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and after renouncing his dacoities, become an ardent Sikh. He constructed a baoli in the memory of the Guru and this can still be seen. Guru Hargobind Sahib came here on his way to Kurukshetra. When he learnt that the descendants of Kalu Chaudhri were looking after the site commemorating Guru Nanak Dev Ji's visit, he gave them 500 gold coins to build a proper place, set up a garden and to dig a well. Bhagtu, a descendant of Kalu Chaudhri, bought land and carried out the Guru's instructions. On his way to Delhi, Guru Tegh Bahadur came here. When he learnt that the descendants of Kalu Chaudhri had not cared for the garden and the well as instructed by Guru Hargobind Sahib, he uttered the words: Karah kurahe pavega, bagh ujarega, khuh beabad hovega (Karah will tread the wrong path, the garden will be ruined and the well will dry) After this, Guru Gobind Singh Ji came to this place. He had come to meet Pir Bhikhan Shah in village Siyana Saiyadan. He circumambulated this place and went away. In the Gurdwara, the Manji Sahib's (memorials) of three Gurus can be seen. The Maghi fair is celebrated here with great zeal.​

Gurdwara Baoli Sahib, Pehowa


This Gurdwara is dedicated to the memory of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. When he came here, the local pandits enjoyed absolute hegemony. They had by their religious tricks kept the people under sway. They would loot the devotees who came to this place. They had made a gold ear-ring of the size of a chariot wheel and thrown it into the river Saraswati. This they would show to the devotees and claim that when the Mata was taking a bath in the river at night, her ear-ring fell into the water and during the course of the night, it grew to such a size. When Guru Nanak Dev Ji came to know of this, he admonished them by saying that it is fine that by this ruse, the gains from public offerings have multiplied, but just think of the multiplication of the sins of those who use this money to spend on festivities. The pandits had no answer to this. They realized their mistake and sought forgiveness from the Guru. Guru Nanak Dev stayed here for a long time. He spent his time meditating and preaching to the people. Guru Amardass Ji, Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji, Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji and Guru Gobind Singh Ji also visited this place. The birth anniversaries of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and Guru Gobind Singh Ji are celebrated here.

Location
Gurdwara Baoli Sahib is located on the Ambala-Kaithal Road, near the Bus Stand. It is twenty seven kms from Kaithal, fifty kms from Ambala and twenty seven kms from Kurukshetra.​
