Gurdwara Bhora Sahib

Gurdwara Bhora Sahib is a historic Sikh shrine located in Anandpur Sahib, Rupnagar District, Punjab. It marks the site of an underground cell (bhora) where Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth Sikh Guru, meditated. Situated near Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib, the white-domed gurdwara is part of the sacred Anandpur Sahib complex and is revered for its association with Guru Tegh Bahadur and Guru Gobind Singh.

Visitors can expect a serene white-domed gurdwara with a small underground chamber (bhora) accessed by stairs, marking the meditation place of Guru Tegh Bahadur. The complex includes a prayer hall with the Guru Granth Sahib, Nishan Sahib, and quiet courtyards. The setting is within the Anandpur Sahib gurdwara cluster, with marble interiors, devotional music, and langar hall nearby. Visitors can walk through the shrine, observe prayers, and explore the historic surroundings.

Gurdwara Bhora Sahib commemorates the underground room (bhora) where Guru Tegh Bahadur meditated during his stay at Anandpur Sahib. The site was later associated with Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru, who spent much of his early life in Anandpur Sahib. The gurdwara preserves the original meditation cell and is part of the historic Anandpur Sahib complex established in the 17th century.

The gurdwara holds deep religious significance for Sikhs as a place of meditation and remembrance of Guru Tegh Bahadur. It is part of the holy city of Anandpur Sahib, one of the most important pilgrimage centres in Sikhism and the birthplace of the Khalsa. Devotees visit to pay respects, listen to Gurbani Kirtan, and participate in langar and seva.
