Situated in the Tarn Taran District, this gurdwara is 14 km from Amritsar. It was built in the memory of Guru Amar Das. It is said that when the sons of Guru Angad Dev began to harass Guru Amar Dss, he returned to his native village of Basarke. At a distance of about two kilometres from this place is situated the Gurdwara Sanh Sahib. The Guru started meditation there is seclusion and the disciples did not know his whereabouts. Baba Buddha traced the Guru with the help of his mare. A notice had been put up outside the Guru's room to the effect that a curse would befall the intruders. Therefore, Baba Buddha entered the room through the back wall by breaking it. This annoyed the Guru who told Baba Buddha that he had disobeyed the injunction. The latter replied that the injunction was for entry from the front door and not through the back wall. It is held that whosoever enters the Gurdwara through the hole in the back wall attains salvation. A fair is held at Sanh Sahib is Bhandra, coinciding with dates of the fair at Govindwal.
