Tarn Tarn

The Tarn Tarn in Punjab is a fantastic Gurudwara situated twenty four Kilometers south of the city of Amritsar. The famous Sikh temple was built by the Guru Arjan Dev Ji, the fifth Sikh Guru. Guru Arjan used to run a home for the leprosy patients in the Tarn Tarn Gurudwara. Similar to the Golden Temple, the Tarn Tarn Gurudwara is surrounded by a Sarovar or lake, which is said to have magical healing powers. Some people believe that by swimming across the tank will cure a leprosy patient. The tank covers a large area and a mere stroll around the tank will take quite a time.

Besides the Gurudwara Tarn Tarn, there is a yellow building that provides free accommodation to the pilgrims. Frequent bus service enables the visitors to pour in the place throughout the day. The interesting feature of the Tarn Tarn Gurudwara is the fairs, which are held every no moon night or the Amavas.

The structure of the Tarn Tarn Gurudwara is resembles much to the Golden Temple except that it is built in one side of the lake. A visit to the temple will be a precious experience of a lifetime.
