Situated in the Batala region of Punjab, Gurudwara Shri Khand Sahib got its name from its humble mud wall which is believed to have stood once at the site on the occasion of Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s wedding. The devotees, respecting the sentiment, secured a replica of that mud wall in a glass case to honour the wisdom and memories of Guru Nanak Ji.

Gurudwara Shri Ber Sahib is located on the banks of River Kali Bein and is immensely significant in the Sikh religion. It holds great importance as Guru Nanak Ji meditated under a Ber tree at the premises for 14 years, as per scriptures. It is believed that his spiritual awakening began with a three-day immersion in the river, culminating in his profound teaching, “There is no Hindu, no Muslim.” The revered Gurdwara, erected by the Maharaja of Kapurthala, honours this transformative moment. It features breathtaking architectural details like marble, octagonal pillars, and intricate stucco work. This iconic Sikh shrine is believed to embody unity and equality.
