Historic Gurdwaras in Punjab

CHHEHARTA SAHIB, GURDWARA,

CHHEHARTA SAHIB, GURDWARA, 7 km west of Amritsar (31Â° 38`N, 74Â° 52`E), is named after a well got sunk by Guru Arjan (1563-1606). The well was so wide that six Persian wheels installed around it could operate simultaneously. Hence its name Chheharta, lit. having six (chhe) Persian wheels (hart or ha/t). The well is now covered up, but its water is pumped up to feed the main tank of the Gurdwara.
