Gurdwara Sant Ghat Sahib

Gurdwara Sant Ghat Sahib is a historic Sikh shrine located on the banks of the Kali Bein rivulet in Sultanpur Lodhi, Kapurthala district, Punjab. It marks the spot where Guru Nanak Dev Ji is believed to have bathed, disappeared for three days in the rivulet, and attained enlightenment before reciting the Mool Mantar. The white-domed gurdwara is a key pilgrimage site within the Sultanpur Lodhi cluster of gurdwaras associated with Guru Nanak's early life.

Visitors can expect a serene white-domed gurdwara complex on the banks of the Kali Bein rivulet with a prayer hall, sarovar-side ghat, and open courtyard. The interior houses the Guru Granth Sahib with regular kirtan and prayer. The surroundings are calm and green with the rivulet, ghat steps, and landscaped area. Visitors can walk around the complex, sit for prayer, partake in langar, and view the historic ghat associated with Guru Nanak Dev Ji.

Gurdwara Sant Ghat Sahib commemorates an event in the life of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of Sikhism, who lived in Sultanpur Lodhi for about 14 years working as a storekeeper for Nawab Daulat Khan Lodhi. Tradition holds that Guru Nanak bathed daily in the Kali Bein rivulet at this ghat, disappeared into the waters for three days, and reappeared in an enlightened state, reciting the Mool Mantar and beginning his mission with the message 'Na Koi Hindu, Na Koi Musalman'. The site is revered as the place of his enlightenment before his Udasis (travels).

The gurdwara is a major Sikh pilgrimage centre and part of the sacred Sultanpur Lodhi circuit, which includes nine historic gurdwaras linked to Guru Nanak Dev Ji. It holds deep religious importance for Sikhs as the enlightenment site and is visited especially during Gurpurabs, particularly Guru Nanak Jayanti, and during the 550th Prakash Purab celebrations. The Kali Bein rivulet itself is considered sacred and is associated with community-led conservation efforts.
