Kaulsar

Location

Kaulsar, i.e. the 'Tank of Kaulan', is quite close to Baba Atal. Kaulan was the daughter of a Muhammadan Qazi of Lahore. She had a desire to live with Guru Hargobind. At the time of the Guru's visit to Lahore, she saw him and accompanied him to Amritsar. Here, she expressed her desire to marry him, but the Guru refused and advised her to live there as his disciple. She agreed and requested the Guru to keep and memory alive. Thereupon, the Guru builds a tank and named it Kaulsar after the name of the lady. There is a small gurdwara by the side of the tank.
