Lakhnaur Sahib Gurudwara

Location

Lakhnaur Sahib Gurudwara is one of the major pilgrim centres associated with Sikh guru, Guru Gobind Singh. According to historians, Lakhnaur village was the paternal place of Mata Gujari, wife of Guru Tegh Bahadur Singh. Guru Gobind Singh, the last human Sikh Guru, stayed at the native place of his mother during his childhood.

As per the folklore of the region, Guru Nanak also visited the place along with his son Baba Shri Chand in 1499 AD. Some other stories of Gurudwara are also linked with saints like Shah Arfdeen, Pir of Karnal and Syed Shah Mira Bheek Sinhanvi. They paid homage to the last guru at this place, which was later transformed to a Sikh worship place.

Lakhnaur is considered sacred as the guru learnt to handle weapons along with the art of khido-khundi, gatka baji, teer-andazi, neja baje and dhal talwar at this place.
