TAMBU SAHIB NANKANA SAHIB

A
wild tree stands at this place. It is so old that its long branches
touch the ground. It is a bit high at the centre. According to a Sikh
legend, Guru Nanak rested for a while at this place, after returning
from Chuharakana, performing the true business. The Guru had fed the
hungry Sadhus with a sum of Rs. 20 /- obtained from his father. On knowing
this, Mehta kalu first felt annoyed with his son and afterwards brought
him home. On admonishing the son, the father recieved a reply that he
had spent his money in the true business. On hearing of this incident,
Rai Bular pleaded before Mehta Kalu by saying "Patwari Ji ! lest you
chide the boy, let me make it clear to you that the whole city is blessed
by his grace and presence". This Shrine is situated at a distance of
one kilometre from Gurdwara Janam Asthan. Pilgrims feel it their proud
privilege to pay their homage.
