Guru Ka Lahore

Celebrating the pious marriage ceremony of Guru Gobind Sing Ji, Guru Ka Lahore which is surrounded by three other Gurudwaras, is set at a distance of 12 km from the famous Anandpur Sahib. Turning the look of this place into one of the cities of Lahore, Guru Ji married Jeet Kaur in 1734.

The place, at which the historical event took place, is enriched with a natural beauty. Found on the bank of a splashing lake, Guru Ka Lahore is aesthetically bounded by serene hills. Consisting of three other Gurudwaras of Sehra Sahib, Triveni Sahib and Paud Sahib, the entire area is considered sacred for the Sikh religion.

The historical past of Guru Ka Lahore near Anandpur Sahib speaks of an interesting event. At the time of the nuptial, Guru Gobind Singh Ji was leading his soldiers against the Mughal Dynasty. It was the wish of his father-in-law, Sh. Harjas Rai Khatri, to organize the occasion at his place in Lahore. Being incapable of fulfilling this wish, Guru Ji found a unique way out. He gave the entire place a feel of Lahore. On arriving the place, which is an adjoining village near Bassi town, Sh. Harjas Rai Khatri was awe-struck. In this way the holy function of marriage completed with mirth and glee.

Today, devotees from all over Punjab and other parts of India come in huge numbers to experience the eternal bliss of Guru Ka Lahore. Global tourists also frequently step into this otherwise remote shrine of Sikhism to gather the blessings of the holy Guru.
