Gurdwara Panjokhra Sahib

Gurdwara Panjokhra Sahib is a historic Sikh shrine located in Panjokhra village in Ambala district, Haryana, about 10 km from Ambala City. It commemorates visits by Guru Hargobind, the sixth Sikh Guru, and Guru Har Krishan, the eighth Sikh Guru. The white-domed complex includes the main prayer hall, sarovar and langar hall. Revered by Sikhs, it serves as an important pilgrimage centre and community gathering place in the region.

Visitors can expect a peaceful white-marbled gurdwara complex with a domed Darbar Sahib (main prayer hall), a sarovar, Nishan Sahib and spacious langar hall. The setting is a rural village environment near Ambala. Inside, visitors can listen to Gurbani kirtan, offer prayers, partake in langar (community meal), and view displays related to the Gurus' visits. The complex includes open courtyards, shoe-keeping area and sarai accommodation for pilgrims.

Gurdwara Panjokhra Sahib marks the visits of two Sikh Gurus. Guru Hargobind, the sixth Guru, is believed to have visited Panjokhra during his travels in the early 17th century. Later, Guru Har Krishan, the eighth Guru, stayed here while travelling from Kiratpur to Delhi in 1664. The gurdwara was established to commemorate these visits and preserves relics and traditions associated with the Gurus.

The gurdwara is a revered pilgrimage centre for Sikhs and a symbol of Sikh heritage in Haryana. It hosts daily prayers, kirtan and langar open to all communities, reflecting Sikh principles of equality and service. Major congregations are held on Gurpurabs, especially the birth anniversary of Guru Har Krishan, attracting devotees from Haryana, Punjab and beyond.
