Even today, the tomb of Baba Gorunanak on one side and the Samadhi on the other, have been erected in Kartarpur, where people of Sikh religion bow down and pray at the Muslim tomb.

The well located in the garden of Gurdwara is attributed to Guru Nanak Dev, the Sikhs believe that it was used by Guru Nanak. Along with the well, a bomb piece is placed in the show case

According to the writing on the showcase, the shell was fired by the Indian Air Force during the 1971 Pak-India War, which the well took in its lap and the Gurdwara was safe from being destroyed.

Darbar Sahib has become one of the largest Gurdwaras in the world, including the Bari Dari, library, museum, guest house and anchorage.


Gurdwara Darbar Sahib, at a distance of about 120 km from Lahore, on the banks of the River Ravi, is the second most sacred place after the 'Gurdwara Janmasthan' of Kartarpur Sikhs.

Kartarpur Gurdwara District is located in Shakar Garh Tehsil of Narowal, some distance from the Indian border. Gurdwara Darbar Sahib was established in 1539.

Every year, people from the Sikh community turn to Kartarpur Gurdwara to perform their religious rituals.news world ahmed

When Narowal descends on Shakar Garh Road, the white dome of Gurdwara Kartarpur is visible, built by Maharaja Patiala Bhupinder Singh Bahadur between 1921 and 1929.

Baba Grunanak lived here 18 years before his death and Grunanak died at this place in Kartarpur too. Guru Nanak Maharaj spent the last days of his life here and his burial place and grave is also there, which is why Kartarpur is a sacred place for the Sikhs.

Gurdwara Darbar Sahib, Kartarpur, being the last resting place of Baba Grunanak is of utmost importance to the Sikh community living in India and around the world.

Gurdwara Darbar Sahib is the largest Gurdwara in the world. Prime Minister Imran Khan Baba will inaugurate Kartarpur Passage today on the occasion of 550th birthday of Guru Nanak.
