Gurudwara Chheharta Sahib

Gurudwara Chheharta Sahib is located near the village Guru Ki Wadali, which is 7 km away from Amritsar. This village is the birthplace of Sri Guru Hargobind Singh, the sixth Guru of Sikh. Guru Arjan Dev Ji, father of Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib, constructed a well at this place to celebrate the birth of his son. This place came to be known as Chheharta, as the well at this site had six Persian wheels that were used to draw the water out.

Spread over an area of 24,281.13 sq. m, the gurudwara complex includes a divan hall. In the middle of this hall, there is a square sanctum, which is enclosed by a brass palisade. Above the brass palisade, there is a square room with a lotus dome, which is topped by a gold plated pinnacle. There are two Sikh flags called Nishan Sahib atop 25 m tall flag posts, which stand in front of the divine hall. This gurudwara is managed by the Shiromani Gurudwara Parbandhak Committee.
