TAHLA SAHIB, GURDWARA

Historic Gurdwaras in Punjab
(0 votes)

TAHLA SAHIB, GURDWARA, sacred to both Guru Tegh Bahadur and Guru Gobind Singh, is in the revenue limits of Rajgarh Kubbe, a village 5 km southeast of Maur Kalan (30"4 N, 75"14E), in Bathinda district of the Punjab. Lying 2.5 km to the west of the village, there used to be, in the time of the Gurus, only a copse of tahll trees (Albergia sissoo) and a pool of water where Guru Tegh Bahadur often came from Maur Kalan while out for his afternoon ride.Guru Gobind Singh visited the place once from Talvandi Sabo during chase.

The memorials raised in honour of the Gurus were later enclosed in what came to be known as Gurdwara Tahia Sahib, which also lends its name to the small habitation which has since grown beside it. The square domed room in the middle of the brickpaved walled compound of the Gurdwara is called Mahji Sahib in which a few old weapons are on display. The Gurdwara is managed by the local sangat.

World Gurudwaras

World Gurudwaras will strive to be most comprehensive directory of Historical Gurudwaras and Non Historical Gurudwaras around the world.The etymology of the term 'gurdwara' is from the words 'Gur (ਗੁਰ)' (a reference to the Sikh Gurus) and 'Dwara (ਦੁਆਰਾ)' (gateway in Gurmukhi), together meaning 'the gateway through which the Guru could be reached'. Thereafter, all Sikh places of worship came to be known as gurdwaras.
