Gurdwara Bebe Nanki

Dera Chahal, located 20 km from Lahore and 15 km from the Indian border, is the birthplace of Bebe Nanaki, the elder sister of Guru Nanak Sahib Ji, and home to Gurdwara Sri Janam Asthan Bebe Nanaki. Guru Nanak visited the village often, as his maternal grandparents were from here. The Gurdwara, once in poor condition, was restored in 1996 with government funding and now houses a girls' school.

Gurdwara Patti Sahib

As a child, Guru Nanak Ji studied Punjabi with Pandit Gopal, Sanskrit with Pandit Brij Lal, and mastered Persian at 13 under Maulvi Kutab Ud Din. The site is known as Gurdwara Patti Sahib or Gurdwara Maulvi Patti Likhi, named after the 'patti'—a wooden board used for learning writing. It marks the place where Guru Nanak learned Persian and Arabic, languages widely used in Punjab at the time.

Gurdwara Bal Lilah

Located about 300 meters from Gurdwara Sri Nankana Sahib, Gurdwara Sri Bal Lila Sahib was originally built by Rai Bular, the village ruler. This site marks the playground where young Guru Nanak would gather his friends, not only for games but also to share spiritual teachings during his meditations. The gurdwara commemorates the Guru's early childhood, where he imparted the Naam (God's name) to his friends through play. Over the years, the gurdwara was expanded by various rulers, including Guru Hargobind Sahib, Diwan Kaura Mall, and Maharaja Ranjit Singh

Gurdwara Janam Asthan

Nanak's early years. While tending his father’s cattle, Guru Nanak often let the animals roam freely as he meditated. When a peasant complained to Rai Bular about crop damage, no harm was found, and the field became known as Kiara Sahib, regarded as a miracle. A gurdwara was later built at the site, it was reconstructed by Sant Gurmukh Singh Sevavale.

Gurdwara Kiara Sahib

Gurdwara Janam Asthan, located in Nankana Sahib, Pakistan, is the birthplace of Guru Nanak Ji, the founder of Sikhism. It is a significant religious site, attracting pilgrims from around the world to honor his life and teachings. The gurdwara is a place of spiritual reflection and devotion, housing a shrine marking the spot where Guru Nanak was born in 1469.

Gurdwara Tambu Sahib

A wild tree stands at this site, so ancient that its long branches touch the ground, rising higher in the center. According to Sikh legend, Guru Nanak rested here after returning from Chuharkana, where he had used Rs. 20 given by his father to feed hungry sadhus. When Mehta Kalu learned of this, he was initially upset but later understood that Guru Nanak had spent the money on a noble cause. Located about one kilometer from Gurdwara Janam Asthan, this shrine is a place of deep reverence for pilgrims.

Gurdwara Mal Ji Sahib

This Gurudwara, initially built by Diwan Kaura Mal and later renovated by Maharaja Ranjit Singh, is grander than Kiara Sahib with its domed features and porches. Located in the heart of Nankana Sahib, it marks the spot where Guru Nanak was protected by a cobra while resting. Rai Bular, witnessing this, recognized Guru Nanak's divine nature and became his disciple. Though the Sri Guru Granth Sahib hasn't been ceremoniously opened post-partition, a portrait of the Guru is displayed for pilgrims.

Gurdwara Darbar Sahib

Gurdwara Darbar Sahib, located in Kartarpur, Pakistan, is the site where Guru Nanak Dev spent the last years of his life and passed away in 1539. It is a significant pilgrimage destination for Sikhs, as it marks the place where Guru Nanak established the first Sikh community and instituted key practices of the faith. The Gurdwara, beautifully situated on the banks of the Ravi River, attracts thousands of devotees every year.

Gurdwara Baba Di Bheri

Gurdwara Baba Di Bheri is situated in Sialkot Pakistan. It is the place where Baba Guru Nanak stayed and met Hamza Ghaus, a famous saint of Sialkot. The Berry tree under which Guru Nanak stayed is still present. The Gurdwara was built by Natha Singh and it includes a garden, a pool and residential rooms.

Gurdwara Rohri Sahib

Gurdwara Rohri Sahib is the sacred shrine which marks the site where, according to tradition, Guru Nanak after the destruction of the town had stayed with Bhai Lalo. Gurdwara Rori Sahib, Eminabad is located about 55 kilometers north of Lahore and 17 kilometers south of Gujranwala.

Gurdwara Chaki Sahib

Gurdwara Lalo Di Khoi

Gurdwara Chakki Sahib at Eminabad is located where a large milestone is kept which was once used by Baba Guru Nanak. In the Janamsakhis it is mentioned that Guru Nanak was taken as a prisoner along with thousands of his fellow countrymen. Baba Ji was forced to grind corn with hand driven chakis. His captors were surprised to see that limestone used by Guru Nanak was turning, by itself, while Baba Ji was simply pouring grist into the opening in the stone as he sang songs to the glory of one God.

Bhai Lalo was a carpenter living at Eminabad during the 1500's. Baba Guru Nanak stayed with him on several occasions. Bhai Lalo's place became a Dharamsala and a meeting place for local followers of Guru. It was later developed into a Gurdwara, which was named after a Khoi (narrow well) which existed even when the old house was crumbled. This well in front of the Gurdwara still provides fresh water to the devotees and visitors.

Gurdwara Sacha Soda

Gurdwara Panja Sahib

Gurdwara Panja Sahib, located 48 km from Rawalpindi in Hasan Abdal, marks the site where Guru Nanak Dev left his handprint on a sacred rock. It is a major pilgrimage destination for Sikhs worldwide, especially during special celebrations when thousands of devotees gather. The word "Panja" refers to an "outstretched palm" in Punjabi, symbolizing the sacred mark left by the Guru.
