Khadur Sahib

Khadur Sahib is situated near Goindwal, at a distance of 52 kms from Amritsar, and till today it honors the seat of Sikh religion during the time of the second Prophet, Guru Angad Dev Ji. This auspicious place was graced by the second Guru Angad who for years propagated the message of God from here. Guru Angad Sahib turned the small village of Khadur into Khadur Sahib. A majestic Gurudwara Khadi Sahib or Khadur Sahib has been constructed here in remembrance of Guru Amar Das.

The place where the beautiful Gurudwara stands today once had a khadi or loom of a cloth weaver. One night Guru Amar Das tripped into a weaver pit, while fetching water for Guru Sri Angad Dev from River Beas at a distance of 10 kms. The pitcher of water was on his head when the staggering Amar Das fell down but saved the pitcher of water for his Guru, forgetting his own bodily bruising. The incident eventually came in the notice of Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji who was extremely pleased to know the devotion of Amar Das and decided to reward Amar Das. Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji declared Amar Das as Guru Amar Das and to be his successor as also the third Sikh Guru. From then on, Guru Amar Das became the shelter for the homeless, the strength, protector and supporter of all that is good and liberator to channelize all evils out.

Some other gurudwaras also came up, namely, Gurudwara Thara Sahib, Gurudwara Killa Sahib and Gurdwara Mal Akhara to commemorate the auspicious place associated with Guru Amar Das.
