GURU HARGOBIND SAHIB NANKANA SAHIB

Guru
Hargobind Ji also sanctified Gurdwara Nankana Sahib in 1613 A.D. (samwat
1670) with his visit, after returning from Kashmir. The Guru deputed
Baba Almast, a desciple of Baba Sri Chand, to render care and service
to the Gurdwara.
The Guru had brought Almast
along with him from Kashmir during his journey. A Gurdwara stands erected
at the place where the Guru rested for three days. It is situated in
the close vicinity of Gurdwara Tambu Sahib. The Guru paid a holy visit
to this place in june (Namani Akadashi). Since then a festivel was held
on that day but afterwards it was held simultaneously on Guru Nanak
Dev Ji's birth day. There is another Gurdwara adjoining this place,
where Guru Arjan Dev, the great martyr, paid a holy visit. The building
is quite safe but no daily congregation is held.
