Gurdwara Pipli Sahib

Gurdwara Pipli Sahib is a historic Sikh shrine located on Grand Trunk Road in Putlighar, Amritsar, Punjab, about 2 km from the Golden Temple. It marks the site where Guru Arjan Dev Ji planted a pipal tree and where Guru Hargobind Ji later stayed. The white-domed gurdwara with its sacred pipal tree is revered by pilgrims visiting Amritsar and is managed by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee.

Visitors can expect a peaceful white-domed gurdwara complex centered around the historic pipal tree, a spacious prayer hall with Guru Granth Sahib, and a langar hall serving community meals. The setting is urban along GT Road with marble flooring, covered walkways, and Nishan Sahib flag. Visitors can observe prayers and kirtan, walk around the shrine, and experience the calm devotional atmosphere typical of Amritsar's Sikh shrines.

Gurdwara Pipli Sahib commemorates Guru Arjan Dev Ji, the fifth Sikh Guru, who planted a pipal tree at this site during the founding and development of Amritsar in the late 16th century. It is also associated with Guru Hargobind Ji, the sixth Guru, who stayed here. The pipal tree is preserved as sacred and the shrine was later developed and is maintained by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee.

The gurdwara is a revered Sikh pilgrimage site in Amritsar, visited by devotees paying respects before or after visiting Harmandir Sahib. It reflects Sikh traditions of seva, langar and community prayer, and holds cultural importance as part of the historic gurdwaras circuit of Amritsar.
