Nankana Sāhib

Sikhism · Punjab, Pakistan

Nankana Sāhib, west of Lahore, is the birthplace of Guru Nānak Dev, the founder of Sikhism. Gurdwārā Janam Asthān marks the place of his birth, and several other gurdwārās in the town recall events from his childhood.

On Guru Nānak’s birth anniversary (Gurpurab, on Kārtika Pūrṇimā), Sikh pilgrims from India and around the world travel here, many under special visa arrangements. The nearby Kartarpur Corridor links India with Gurdwārā Darbār Sāhib Kartarpur, where Guru Nānak spent his final years.
