Gurdwara Guru Ka Bagh

Gurdwara Guru Ka Bagh is a historic Sikh shrine in Sultanpur Lodhi, Kapurthala District, Punjab. It marks the garden where Guru Nanak Dev Ji's cattle grazed during his stay in Sultanpur Lodhi in the late 15th century while employed under Nawab Daulat Khan Lodhi. The gurdwara features traditional Sikh architecture with a domed prayer hall and serene surroundings. It is an important part of the Sultanpur Lodhi heritage circuit and a revered pilgrimage site for Sikhs.

Visitors can expect a peaceful gurdwara complex with a white domed prayer hall, open courtyard and garden surroundings. Inside, the sanctum houses the Guru Granth Sahib with space for prayer and quiet reflection. The complex includes a langar hall where community meals are served. The environment is calm and devotional, with pilgrims offering prayers, listening to kirtan and exploring the well-maintained premises associated with Guru Nanak Dev Ji's life in Sultanpur Lodhi.

Gurdwara Guru Ka Bagh commemorates Guru Nanak Dev Ji's period in Sultanpur Lodhi (circa late 15th to early 16th century) when he worked as storekeeper for Nawab Daulat Khan Lodhi. Tradition holds that this garden area was where the cattle entrusted to Guru Nanak grazed. Sultanpur Lodhi is regarded as the place where Guru Nanak attained enlightenment after bathing in the Kali Bein rivulet, and several gurdwaras in the town mark events from his life there.

The gurdwara is a revered Sikh pilgrimage site and part of the sacred heritage of Sultanpur Lodhi, often called the city of Guru Nanak. It holds religious importance for daily prayers, Gurpurab celebrations, especially Guru Nanak Jayanti, and community gatherings. The practice of langar and kirtan reflects Sikh traditions of service, equality and devotion.
