Gurudwara Ber Sahib, Sultanpur Lodi

Guru Nanak Dev, the first prophet who founded Sikhism gained enlightenment while bathing in the river Kali Bein. A beautiful Gurudwara was constructed on this place which came to be known as Gurudwara Ber Sahib.

Gurudwara Ber Sahib in Sultanpur Lodi lies in the Kapurthala district of Punjab.

The auspicious place is situated at a distance of 60 kms from Amritsar and 36 kms from Jalandhar.

This holy place, adorned with Nanak's Sukhmani Sahib in Sultanpur Lodi became the starting point of the renowned journeys of Guru Nanak.

While Guru Nanak Dev ji was staying in Sultanpur Lodi, every morning he used to bathe and meditate, thereafter, in the Kali Bein stream.

The town grew around the Ber or Jujube sapling that was planted by Guru Nanak Dev ji. The tree still stands in its original place where it was destined by Guru Nanak Dev.

A majestic shrine was built there by Baba Jassa Singh Ahluwalia around this place. The new building that stands now was started in 1938 and the construction completed in 1942.

The purity of marble commensurate with the grace and divine environment of the place. Guru Nanak Dev ji spread his first messages of peace, love and brotherhood from this Sultanpur Lodi.

His idea of One God spread from this very land with the Guru's blessings.
