A symbol of spiritual reverence

Amritsar is a city that attracts millions of tourists throughout the year. In addition to the famous Golden Temple, the city is home to many beautiful places to visit. One such captivating site is the Gurudwara Chheharta Sahib, located in the village of Chheharta, about 7 km from Amritsar.

The revered 6th Sikh guru, Guru Hargobind Singh Ji, was born in this village. His father, Guru Arjan Dev named the Gurudwara after a large well was built to commemorate the birth of his successor. What's even more fascinating is that the well is surrounded by six Persian wheels that pull water more quickly, giving rise to its charming name, "Chehharta." Legend has it that these wheels hold the power to heal. It's an incredible sight to behold! Although the well is now covered, the water from the well is still being poured into the main tank of the Gurudwara and you can still observe the well-preserved Persian Wheels.

The Gurdwara is a breathtaking six-acre walled complex with a beautiful square sanctum at the heart of a diwan hall. It is crowned by a stunning lotus dome with a pinnacle coated in gold, adding to its majestic beauty. As you approach the Diwan hall, you'll be greeted by two impressive 25-meter-tall flag poles proudly flying Sikh flags, known as Nishan Sahib.
