This sacred Gurdwara holds immense historical and spiritual significance as it marks the place where Guru Gobind Singh Ji halted during his journey after the Battle of Bhangani in 1688.
Historical significance
After emerging victorious in the Battle of Bhangani, a fierce conflict against the combined forces of the hill chieftains, Guru Gobind Singh Ji and his army stopped at Nada Sahib for rest. During their stay, they were warmly welcomed and hosted by a local devotee, Nadu Shah, after whom the gurdwara sahib is named.
It is believed that Guru Gobind Singh Ji blessed Nadu Shah for his devotion and hospitality, making Nada Sahib a spiritual site cherished by Sikhs worldwide. Over time, the Gurdwara sahib became a place of pilgrimage, attracting devotees who seek blessings and solace in its serene ambiance.
Nada Sahib witnesses a surge of devotees during significant Sikh festivals, particularly on Puranmashi (full moon) and Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s Gurpurb. These occasions are marked by Kirtan (devotional singing), Ardas (prayers), and Langar Seva, creating an atmosphere of spiritual fervor and communal harmony.
