Gurudwara Bhai Mohkam Singh

Gurudwara Bhai Mohkam Singh is a Sikh shrine located on Bet Dwarka Island in Devbhumi Dwarka district, Gujarat. It commemorates Bhai Mohkam Singh, one of the Panj Pyare of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, who was born in Bet Dwarka in 1663. The modest white gurudwara marks his birthplace and is revered as an important Sikh pilgrimage site in western India, situated close to the Bet Dwarka jetty and Dwarkadhish Temple.

Visitors can expect a small, peaceful white gurudwara with a prayer hall, Nishan Sahib, and simple interiors on Bet Dwarka Island. The shrine is located a short walk from the ferry jetty amid the island's narrow lanes and coastal setting. Visitors can attend prayers, observe Sikh traditions, and learn about Bhai Mohkam Singh's life. The atmosphere is quiet and devotional, typically visited as part of a combined pilgrimage to Bet Dwarka's Hindu temples.

The gurudwara marks the birthplace of Bhai Mohkam Singh (1663-1705), born as Mohkam Chand in Bet Dwarka to Tirath Chand and Devi Bai. He became a disciple of Guru Gobind Singh Ji and was one of the Panj Pyare, the first five Sikhs initiated into the Khalsa at Anandpur Sahib on Vaisakhi in 1699. He later attained martyrdom in the Battle of Chamkaur in 1705.

The shrine is a significant Sikh religious site in Gujarat and a symbol of Sikh heritage in the Dwarka region. It is revered by Sikh pilgrims visiting Saurashtra and by visitors to the sacred island of Bet Dwarka, representing the confluence of Sikh and local Gujarati devotional traditions.
