Guru
Nanak
Jhira
Sahib is
a Sikh historical shrine situated
in Bidar, Karnataka.
Gurdwara
Nanak
Jhira
Sahib
was
built
in
the
year
1948
and
is
dedicated
to
the
first
Sikh
guru Guru
Nanak.
Bidar
has
a
very
long
association
with Sikhism as
this
is
the
home
town
of Bhai
Sahib
Singh,
one
of
the Panj
Pyare (five
beloved
ones),
who
offered
to
sacrifice
their
heads
and
were
later
baptised
as
the
first
members
of
the Khalsa.
The Gurudwara is
established
in
a
nice
valley,
surrounded
by
laterite
hills
on
three
sides.
The
shrine
comprises Darbar
Sahib, Diwan
Hall and Langar
Hall.
In
the
sukhaasan
room, Guru
Granth
Sahib,
the
holy
book
of
Sikh
is
placed.
There
is
a
separate
room
called
the Likhari
Room,
where
donations
are
accepted
and
receipts
are
issued.
Inside
Gurudwara
Nanak
Jhira
Sahib
A
beautiful
Gurdwara
has
been
constructed
after
the
independence
of
India
in
1948[1] by
the
side
of
the spring.
The
water
from
the
spring
is
collected
in
a
small Amrit
Kund (a
holy
water
tank)
built
opposite
to
the
front
stairs
of
the
Gurudwara
.
It
is
believed
that
a
holy
dip
is
enough
to
cleanse
the
body
as
well
as
the
soul.
There
is
a
free
community
kitchen
(Guru
Ka
Langar)
where
free
food
is
given
to
pilgrims
24
hours
night
and
day.
A
Sikh
museum
has
been
built
in
the
memory
of Guru
Tegh
Bahadur,
depicting
the
important
events
of
Sikh
history
through
pictures
and
paintings.
The
Gurudwara
is
a
must
visit
for
people
of
all
beliefs
and
religions.
Makes
one
feel
thankful
and
closer
to
the
almighty.
The
premises
are
clean
and
organisers
and
volunteers
work
hard
for
maintaining
the
sanctity
of
the
temple
and
the
convenience
of
the
pilgrims.
We
spent
about
an
hour,
paying
our
respects,
introspecting
and
then
having
the
yummy
Prasadam.
