GURDWARA
KIARA SAHIB NANKANA SAHIB
|
This Gurdwara is situated at a distance
of one and a half kilometres from Gurdwara Janam Asthan.
According to Janam Sakhi, when Guru Nanak was yet a young man, he was
to graze cattle. While resting
underneath
a shady tree, Guru was immersed in thoughts and the cattle went astray
in the feilds of a farmer. On having seen this, the peasant got red
with rage. The clamouring made by the peasent disturbed the Guru from
his trnace. On beholding the Guru, he got embarrassed and made a complaint
to Rai Bular. The Guru drove the cattle towards his house. On his return,
the Guru just had a kind look at the fields which turned green. By watching
this miracle, the Hindus and the Muslims revered the Guru. This Gurdwara
is situated in that historical field. The building is large.
A boundry wall and a
sarovar has been got built around the whole field. Before obtaining
the management of this Gurdwara by the panth in February 1921, a trio
consisting of Mahant Fauja Singh, Mahant Ujjagar Singh and Mahantani
Inder Kaur, was managing the affairs of this Gurdwara. After the partition
of 1947, This Gurdwara came under the Pakistan Waqf Board and is continueing
as such. The holy tank stands dry and Sri Guru Granth Sahib is not opened
ceremoniously.
