Location
Situated in the Tarn Taran District, Bir Sahib is 16 km from Tarn Taran and 24 km from Amritsar (via Chheharta) by road. There is a gurdwara built in the memory of Baba Budha who is said to have resided at this place. He had many cows and used to send butter and milk for the Guru's langar at Amritsar. Baba Budha is said to have served and first six Gurus. For a long time, the Fifth Guru, Arjan Dev, had no son. It is said that Mata Ganga came from Amritsar to Bir Sahib on foot, with loaves, buttermilk and onions on her head. Baba Buddha accepted the offerings and, through his blessings, Mata Ganga gave birth to a son (Hargobind). In commemoration of the birth of Guru Hargobind, a fair is held there on 21st Asvin.
