Dhamtan Sahib Gurudwara

Defining the sacred message of Guru Teg Bahadur, the Dhamtan Sahib Gurudwara rests in the Jind district of Haryana. Known to have experienced the holy bliss of the revered Guru twice, the place of the Gurudwara is a prominent landmark of the Sikh religion.

In 1665 and in 1675, Guru Teg Bahadur visited the place and stayed back for a considerable period of time. During his first visit, Guru Ji had been offered with the humble services of a local head of the area called as Chowdhry Daggo. In order to provide Guru Ji with every possible kind of comfort, Chowdhry Daggo dug a well, built a dharamshala and a dwelling place. But due to the orders of the then Mughal Emperor, the governing chief of the area arrested Guru Teg Bahadur.

In 1675 Guru Teg Bahadur Ji once again came to Jind and started to sanctify the local disciples with holy sermons of Guru Granth Sahib. After his demise, Guru Gobind Singh Ji stepped into this holy site in 1693 and encouraged the Sikh followers to build a Gurudwara.

The structure of Dhamtan Sahib Gurudwara of Haryana which adorns the pious ambience of Jind today was established by Maharaja of Patiala - Karam Singh - in 1840. The unique feature of the Gurudwara lies in the simultaneous existence of the house erected by Chowdhry Daggo for Guru Teg Bahadur Singh Ji.

It is but obvious that the local followers of Sikh religion visit the Dhamtan Sahib Gurudwara regularly. However, the place has a distinct attraction among the outsiders too who, more often than not, flock to this Gurudwara of ancient significance.

Religiously enriching the dharma of Sikhism, the Dhamtan Sahib Gurudwara offers a rare and sacred escapade to all those who wish to engross themselves in the ecstatic aura of Khalsa.
