Sanctuary of faith

The Gurudwara Mata Kaulan, also known as Gurudwara Kaulsar Sahib, is a revered Sikh shrine located behind the Harmandir Sahib, or Golden Temple, in Amritsar, Punjab. This historical gurudwara holds great significance in Punjab and is a popular tourist destination in Amritsar.

The gurudwara is named after Bibi Kaulan, a devoted disciple of Guru Har Gobind. She was known for her passionate kirtans that she sang every evening, leaving a lasting impact on the older Sikh community members. Born into a Muslim family as the daughter of the Qazi of Lahore, Bibi Kaulan’s devotion to Guru Hargobind Ji led her father to declare her an infidel and sentence her to death. However, she was rescued by Sai Mian Meer Ji, a famous Sufi saint who also lived in Lahore at that time, and brought under the protection of Shri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji.

A testimony to harmonious coexistence

Bibi Kaulan spent the rest of her life serving humanity and meditating, with Guru Sahib blessing her with eternal remembrance through the holy river. It is believed that Guru Sahib directed all devotees to take a dip in the Kaulsar Sarovar before visiting the Harmandir Sahib, emphasising the sanctity of the sarovar.

Baba Budha Ji oversaw the excavation of Kaulsar, which began in 1624 and was completed in 1627. Kaulsar is one of the five sacred sarovars in Amritsar, with Guru Har Gobind recommending followers to cleanse themselves in its waters before visiting the Amrit Sarovar.
