Gurdwara Tambu Sahib Nankana Sahib

Guruduara Tambu Sahib Nankana Sahib


These are some photographs of Gurmukhi commemorative board and old times beautiful building of Gurdwara Tambu Sahib located at Nankana Sahib, Punjab, Pakistan. Researcher and Historic Photographer Mr. Ahmed Hassan says that once Guru Nanak Dev's Mehta Kalu gave him some money and sent him market town Chuharkana (Farooqabad) to the business. In spite of doing business, Guru Ji fed hungry villagers with the sum of rupees twenty received from his father and came back fully satisfied with what he had done. As he reached near his village, he realised the possibility of his father's displeasure and rebuke. Guru Nanak hid himself under a Vann tree whose branches touched the ground making it look like a Tanbu (tent) until discovered and taken home. A Gurudwara was built near the Vann tree during the Sikh Rule in Punjab.

Gurmukhi commemorative board provides this historical information:
