Gurdwara Tambu Sahib

Gurdwara Tambu Sahib is a historic Sikh shrine in Sri Muktsar Sahib, Punjab, marking the site where Guru Gobind Singh Ji pitched his tent (tambu) during the Battle of Muktsar in 1705. Located close to Gurdwara Tuti Gandi Sahib, it is one of the cluster of gurdwaras commemorating the battle and the martyrdom of the 40 Muktas. The shrine features a white domed structure, prayer hall and sarovar surroundings visited by pilgrims year-round.

Visitors can expect a peaceful white-domed gurdwara complex with a main prayer hall (Darbar Sahib), Nishan Sahib, and open courtyard. The interior is simple and reverent with continuous kirtan and recitation. Pilgrims can pay obeisance, sit in the hall, partake in langar, and view the historic site marking Guru Gobind Singh Ji's encampment. The surroundings are urban with other historic gurdwaras within walking distance and basic pilgrim facilities.

Gurdwara Tambu Sahib marks the spot where Guru Gobind Singh Ji pitched his tent (tambu) during the Battle of Muktsar (Khidrane Di Dhab) in 1705. The battle is remembered for the martyrdom and redemption of the 40 Muktas (liberated ones) who had earlier deserted Guru Ji but returned to fight against the Mughal forces. The gurdwara is part of the historic battlefield complex that includes Tibbi Sahib, Rakabsar and Tuti Gandi Sahib.

The gurdwara is a revered Sikh pilgrimage site and part of the sacred circuit of Muktsar's historic shrines. It commemorates Sikh martial tradition, sacrifice and forgiveness associated with the 40 Muktas. The annual Mela Maghi held in January draws large congregations, and the shrine serves as a centre for daily prayers, langar and community service.
