Gurdwaras
Gurdwara Patal Puri, Kiratpur, Dist. Ropar
Guru Gobind Singh travelled from here to Anandpur Sahib for the
cremation of his fathers head which had been spirited away from Delhi
by a devoted Sikh, Bhai Jaita. Guru Hargobind as well as Guru Har Rai
were cremated here. The ashes of Guru Har Krishan were brought from
Delhi and immersed here in the river Sutlej. In 1675 Guru Gobind Singh
at the age of nine received the tragic news that his father Guru Tegh
Bahadur had been executed in Delhi.
Gurdwara Vibhore Sahib, Dist. Nangal
Guru Gobind Singh stayed here for about a year and composed hymns in
praise of God. The Gurdwara is situated on the banks of the river
Sutlej. This was among the happiest time of Guru Gobind Singh life
when he had time to enjoy hunting and writing poetry in praise of God.
Qila Anandgarh Sahib, Anandpur Sahib, Dist.
Ropar
This Gurdwara was one of the five forts constructed by Guru Gobind
Singh at Anandpur Sahib for the defense of the Sikhs. Guru Gobind
Singh spent 25 years at Anandpur Sahib. To protect the Sikhs from the
hill Rajas or Mughals, Guru Gobind Singh began the construction of
five defensive forts all around the town. Keshgarh at the center (now
a Takht), Anandgarh (fort of bliss), Lohgarh (fort of steel), Holgarh
(fort of colour) and Fatehgarh (fort of victory). All the forts were
joined together with earthworks and underground tunnels. The
construction began in 1689 and took over ten years to complete.
Gurdwara Ghat Sahib, Dist. Nangal
This Gurdwara on the left bank of the river Sutlej marks the spot
where Guru Gobind Singh crossed the river by boat from a dock (ghat).
Gurdwara Bhatha Sahib, Dist. Ropar
Guru Gobind Singh visited here and cooled down a red hot brick kiln
(bhatha) with the touch of his horses hoof. The local Muslim chief
Nihang Khan became a follower of the Guru and at great personal risk
looked after the Guru and his Sikhs. At that time anyone helping the
Sikhs faced death as punishment from the Mughal authorities.
Gurdwara Bhadaur, Dist. Sangrur
Guru Gobind Singh visited here during one of his hunting expeditions.
A sword belonging to Guru Gobind Singh and used in battle is kept
here. Guru Gobind Singh introduced a new metaphor for God, Sarbloh
meaning All-Steel Mighty Sword.
