Introduction

Nada Sahib Gurudwara, on the banks of the Ghaggar river near Panchkula in the Chandigarh tri-city area, is one of the most significant Sikh pilgrimage sites in the region, associated with a visit by Guru Gobind Singh during his travels through the area. Its riverside setting, combined with the gurdwara's white domed architecture, gives the site a particularly serene atmosphere compared to more urban Sikh shrines.

A large communal langar kitchen serves free meals to all visitors, and the gurdwara draws especially large crowds during Sikh festivals and the Baisakhi period each April, when the surrounding grounds fill with pilgrims from across the wider Punjab and Haryana region.

History

According to Sikh tradition, Guru Gobind Singh rested at this site during his travels through the region in the late 17th century, and the gurdwara has since developed into a major pilgrimage destination commemorating that visit.

Best time to visit

October to March; Baisakhi in April is a particularly significant time to visit.

How to reach

In Panchkula, about 25 minutes from central Chandigarh by road.
