Some Facts About The Gurudwara’s
Gurdwara Tarn Taran Sahib Ji (Darbar Sahib) :
When Guru Arjan Dev went on a missionary tour to the Majha region, he chanced upon to see a huge pond near by the village of Khara. The surroundings were also very picturesque. The Guru bought some land from the villagers of Khara and Palasaur. Then he started the work of digging a tank 999 long and 996 broad. There he constructed a Gurdwara on the side of the tank. It is known as Darbar Sahib, Tarn Taran.
Gurdwara Goindwal Sahib Ji or Bauli Sahib :
Guru Amar Das caused a big Baoli dug at Goindwal as a first Sikh pilgrimage. He exhorted the Sikhs that taking bath here is more useful than taking bath at Hardwar. He constructed 84 steps to reach the Baoli (a large oblong tank) and instructed that whosoever takes bath repeating the Japji while sitting on these 84 steps one by one till the last step, is made free form the 84 lacs forms of species and enters heaven. A beautiful Gurdwara was built beside the Baoli.
Gurdwara Khadoor Sahib :
The place where Guru Angad Dev used to address the Sikh congregation, there stands Gurdwara Darbar Sahib. On the precincts of the Darbar Sahib stands a Karir tree which sprouted from the same pole of the Karir wood against which Guru Amar Dass’s foot struck when he was bringing water for Guru Angad Dev to take bath and as a result he fell down.
Gurdwara Baba Budha Ji :
Gurdwara Bir Baba Budha is situated on the right side of village Thatha on the Amritsar Patti road. Baba Budha was a disciple of Guru Nanak. He lived from the period of Guru Nanak till the period of Guru Hargobind Sahib. He invested all the Gurus from Guru Angad Dev to Guru Hargobind Sahib in their high offices. He also used to take care of the Guru’s cattle in the Bir (forest).
