GURUDWARA SHRI HARIAAN VELLAN SAHIB

GURUDWARA SHRI HARIAAN VELLAN SAHIB is situated in the Bajrour Village in Hoshiarpur Distt. This Gurdwara is situated at a distance of 14 Km from Hoshiarpur Railway Station near Chabbewal on Hoshiarpur-Garhshankar Road in Village Bajrour, District Hoshiarpur, Punjab.



The Seventh Sikh Guru, Shri Guru Har Rai Ji visited this place alongwith his wife and 2200 horse-riders army in 1651. Guru Ji stayed here for 3 Days at the house of Baba Prajapati Ji on seeing his deep devotion and love. The Gurdwara is situated at the place where the house of Baba Prajapati Ji once existed. Upon hearing the news of Guru Ji's visit, the followers came in large numbers and got blessings of Guru Ji. Guru Ji used to hold Preaching Diwans two times in the Day, in the Morning and the Evening. The desires of all the followers were fulfilled by Guru Ji.

Baba Prajapati Ji dug roots of a creeping plant and offered these to Guru Ji's horse. The horse on eating these roots became very happy. Guru Ji asked," Baba Ji , what have you offered to my horse?" Baba Ji replied," What a poor person like me can offer to your horse?,there were some creeping plants in my courtyard, I dug their roots and offered to your horse." Guru Ji said," You have served my horse well, so these creeping plants would always remain green." Those creeping plants are still green till today. The Gurdwara has been named after those green creeping plants : Green is known as Harian in Punjabi and creeping plants are known as Vailan in Punjabi. Guru Ji's horse was tied to a Date Palm tree which also exists near Nishan Sahib.

When Guru Ji came to this place, there was acute shortage of water in the area. Guru Ji hit an arrow on the ground, 660 Feet away from Gurdwara towards East and a spring of water came out. All the devotees and horses took water. Guru Ji blessed that spring by saying, whosoever takes bath here with pure heart, all his wishes would be fulfilled and anyone suffering from Myopathy would get well, his body would shine like a Moti (Pearl). Hence this Sarovar is known as 'Moti Sarovar'.

Sahibzada Ajit Singh Ji (the eldest son of Tenth Sikh Guru, Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji) visited this place with 200 Sikhs from Anandpur Sahib via Mahilpur - Shaheedan Ladhewal - Chakhundi Sahib, Bajrour to rescue wife of Devi Das Brahmin from Jabar Khan Pathan. Baba Ajit Singh Ji sat near Nishan Sahib. A fierce battle took place at Bassi Kalan in which many Sikhs won martyrdom who were cremated at Ladhewal by Baba Ji. Jabar Khan was arrested and brought to Anandpur Sahib where he was produced in the Court of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. He was burrowed in the ground and then killed with arrows.

The structure is built at the place where Guru Gobind Singh died. The inner room of the gurdwara is called the Angitha Sahib and is built over the place where Guru Gobind Singh was cremated in 1708. The gurdwara was built between 1832 and 1837 by order of Maharaja Ranjit Singh (1780–1839). The Guru held his court and congregation here and was convalescing after being attacked by two would-be assassins. One of the attackers stabbed the Guru, and was killed by him with a single stroke of his talwar (curved sword). The other was killed by his followers as he tried to escape. The Guru's wound was deep, but initially healed after being stitched by a European surgeon. However the wound re-opened a few days later when the Guru was stringing a bow for one of his Sikhs and the Guru died after declaring the Guru Granth Sahib as his successor. A few days before Parlok Gaman, Guru Gobind Singh ji ended the line of personal Guruship by appointing the “Granth Sahib” (Gur-Ta-Gaddi) as his

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. A beautiful Gurdwara has been constructed after the independence of India in 1948 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 Gurud
