Gurdwara Guru Ka Bagh

Gurdwara Guru Ka Bagh is a historic Sikh shrine located in Guru Ka Bagh village, Ajnala tehsil, Amritsar district, Punjab. Associated with visits of Guru Arjan Dev and Guru Tegh Bahadur, it is known for the 1922 Guru Ka Bagh Morcha during the Akali movement. The white-domed complex includes a prayer hall, sarovar and langar hall, set amid agricultural fields about 12 km from Ajnala and 30 km from Amritsar city.

Visitors can expect a peaceful white-domed gurdwara complex set in a rural agricultural landscape. The main prayer hall (darbar sahib) houses the Guru Granth Sahib, with a sarovar, langar hall and open courtyard. The environment is calm and devotional, with volunteers managing community kitchen services. Visitors can observe prayer recitations, partake in langar, and explore the simple, well-maintained premises.

Gurdwara Guru Ka Bagh commemorates visits of Guru Arjan Dev and Guru Tegh Bahadur to the area. The site is historically noted for the Guru Ka Bagh Morcha of 1922, when Sikhs under the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee launched a non-violent agitation to assert the right to collect firewood from the gurdwara land for langar, following the arrest of Sikhs by the colonial administration. The morcha became a notable episode in the Akali movement for gurdwara reform.

The gurdwara is an important Sikh religious centre for the local community and pilgrims. It serves as a place of daily prayer, kirtan and langar, reflecting Sikh principles of seva and community service. Annual religious gatherings and Gurpurabs are observed with devotional programs.
