Gurdwara Goindwal Sahib, Taran Taaran, Punjab

Gurdwara Goindwal Sahib, is located in Taran Taran district in the Majha region of the state of Punjab in India about 23 km from Tarn Taran Sahib Gurdwara. In the 16th century it became an important center for the Sikh religion during the Guruship of the Guru Amar Das Ji. Goindwal Sahib is on the banks of the river Beas. Guru Amar Das (the third Guru or the third Nanak) stayed in Goindwal for 33 years where he established a new centre for preaching Sikhism. Historians also reveal that once Emperor Akbar visited the gurudwara and after meeting the Guru had lunch served in the Langar.






A Baoli (stepwell), paved with 84 steps was constructed there. Some devout believe that by reciting Japji Sahib, the divine Word revealed to Guru Nanak Dev at each of the 84 steps after taking a bath in the Baoli provides Moksha, liberation from 84,00,000 cycles of life of this world and unity with God (mukhti).




The main Gurdwara, standing next to the Baoli, white against the chequerboard of the courtyard. The Gurdwara is an example of typical Sikh architecture with a large dome tipped with a gold pinnacle - four cupolas echoing the main dome in shape and the ubiquitous facade of turrets, elliptical cornices and projected windows.

Gurdwara Sri Tarn Taran Sahib, Punjab, India


Gurdwara Sri Tarn Taran Sahib is a gurdwara established by the fifth guru, Guru Arjan Dev, in the city of Tarn Taran Sahib, Punjab, India. It is a very famous sikh shrine around 22 km away from Amritsar. It is the only Gurudwara which is the replica of Golden Temple, Amritsar.








The site has the distinction of having the largest sarovar (water pond) of all the gurdwaras. Guru Arjan Dev Ji, the Fifth Sikh Master, founded Tarn Taran Sahib in the year 1590. It is an approximate rectangle in shape. Its northern and southern sides are 289 and 283 metres (948 and 928 ft), respectively, and eastern and western sides 230 and 233 metres (755 and 764 ft), respectively. The name Tarn Taran, since appropriated by the town itself, originally belonged to the sarovar, so called by Guru Arjan Dev Ji. It means, "the boat that takes one across (the ocean of existence)".







Maharaja Ranjit Singh reconstructed the present Darbar Sahib Tarn Taran in and also completed the work of the Parikarma which had been left unfinished previously. He also gold-plated the Darbar Sahib Tarn Taran, as he did with the Harmandir Sahib at Amritsar








When Maharaja Nau Nihal Singh, the grandson of Maharaja Ranjit Singh came to Tarn Taran, he built a Minara (tower) at the end of the sarovar. Only one was completed, which can be seen while walking to Darbar Sahib. The three-storeyed tower, 34 metres (112 ft) high, was erected during the Kanvar's lifetime. The dome on top of it was added later. Three others were planned on each end of the sarovar, but were not constructed due to the death of Maharaja Nau Nihal Singh and also because of the two Anglo-Sikh Wars (1845–1849) against the British.





In 2005 the whole of Gurdwara was renovated. It was plated in new gold, and inside the Darbar Sahib new work was done. New marble was inlaid and a big complex was built; and more buildings were added around the complex.
