Where holiness blossomed

Step into the sacred grounds of Gurudwara Sri Guru Ka Bagh, located in the heart of Sultanpur Lodhi, Kapurthala district. This hallowed site holds a special place in Sikh history as the first home of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and his wife, Mata Sulakhani, after their marriage. As you approach the low-rise hall that marks this revered spot, you can almost feel the echoes of spiritual awakening that began here centuries ago.

Within these walls, a profound legacy took root. It was here that Guru Nanak's two sons, Baba Sri Chand and Baba Lakhmi Das, were born, adding to the site's sanctity. The Gurudwara's interior, a harmonious blend of simplicity and elegance, houses the Guru Granth Sahib at its centre, inviting you into a space of deep contemplation.

Marvel at the Gurudwara's exquisite architecture - its marble edifice crowned with a dome of shimmering golden tiles. The façade, adorned with a cantilevered balcony, showcases intricate pietra dura panels that tell silent stories of devotion and craftsmanship. As you explore, don't miss the Kuh, an ancient well still present within the premises. Its waters, once used to prepare langar during Guru Nanak's time.

Devotion and enlightenment

As you stroll around the hallowed grounds of Gurudwara Sri Guru Ka Bagh, you will feel that the air is thick with spiritual energy and centuries of devotion. This sacred site, once the home of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and Mata Sulakhani, now welcomes pilgrims and curious travellers alike. When you enter the premises, let the melodious strains of kirtan wash over you, carrying you into a realm of tranquillity. Join the devoted in the langar hall, where the tradition of communal meals continues to bring people together, just as it did in Guru Nanak's time. Don't miss the chance to draw water from the ancient Kuh, its cool depths holding stories of countless devotees who came before you.

When the spirit of festivals come alive

The Gurudwara hosts several important Sikh festivals throughout the year but it is during Baisakhi and Guru Purab, when this sacred site transforms into a vibrant tapestry of celebration. The air fills with the aroma of festive dishes and the joyous sounds of devotional songs. Devotees from far and wide gather to commemorate these auspicious occasions, their colourful attire and beaming faces creating a mesmerizing spectacle. Join in the special kirtans, lose yourself in the spiritual discourses, and feel the collective energy of thousands united in faith and celebration.
