*********************************************************
A spring used to flow close to the fortification wall of Rohtas Fort. Guru Nanak is said to have made the spring to emerge and flow for the public use. A Gurudwara was built close to the spring during the Sikh Period. ************************************** GURUDWARA RORI SAHIB AT EMINABAD Guru Nanak, during his stay at Eminabad, is said to have made his bed on a platform of "rori" (pebbles or broken stones). This platform became a place of veneration and later on when Sikhs came to power a Gurudwara was built over it. This Gurudwara, an imposing building of cut-brick work, is a place of great sanctity. Some of the roris (stones) preserved in the Gurudwara are still shown to the faithful on Baisakhi and Diwali. ************************************** KHOI BHAI LALU AT EMINABAD Guru Nanak, while visiting Eminabad, stayed with a carpenter named Lalu and used the water of a well situated in his house. The well or "Khoi" is held sacred and is known as Khoi Bhai Lalu. *************************************** GURUDWARA JANAM ASTHAN AT NANKANA Guru Nanak was born here. A large Gurudwara was built during the Sikh Period which has been modified and enlarged several times. The Gurudwara is held in great veneration by the Sikh community. In this Gurudwara, one of the many valuable relics kept is the sacred cloak ("Chugha") known as "Chola Sahib". The cloak embroidered with Quaranic verses is said to have been presented to Guru Nanak by the ruler of Baghdad when he visited him. *************************************** GURUDWARA MAL JI SAHIB While
herding the cattle Guru Nanak used to take rest under the shade of a tree. Once
Rai Bular happened to pass that way and observed that the protecting shadow of
the tree had remained stationary over the Guru and did not change like the
shadows of other trees with the sun's progress. *************************************** GURUDWARA MAULVI PATTI AT NANKANA SAHIB It is said that Mehta Kalu sent Guru Nanak to a Maulvi to learn Persian in the feign hope that if he knew the court language he might be able to earn his livelihood. He astonished his teacher by copying the alphabet from memory after one day, and while answering the questions of Maulvi Sahib, he himself assumed the role of a teacher and composed an acrostic on the letters of the Persian alphabet. The present Gurudwara marks the place of his discourse with the Maulvi. *************************************** GURUDWARA
TIBBA BABA NANAK SAHIB AT CHAK I/EB, TEHSIL OKARA *************************************** GURUDWARA AT DIPALPUR Enroute
to Multan, Guru Nanak stayed at Dipalpur under a withered "Pipal" tree
which, however, turned green, produced leaves and blossoms to provide shade to
Guru Sahib. At this very place a leper named Nuri was also cured. The Pipal tree
is still green and Nuri's grave can also be seen nearby. *************************************** GURUDWARA KIARA SAHIB AT NANKANA Once
Mehta Kalu sent Nanak to herd buffalos in a nearby forest. All went well for the
first day. On the second day he fell asleep and the unattended cattle trespassed
on the adjoining field and damaged its standing crop. The owners remonstrated
Nanak and lodged a complaint to Rai Bular, who summoned Nanak and his father and
inquired about the matter. Guru Nanak said that no damage had been done to the
fields and it had been blessed by God. Rai Bular is said to have either sent his
men to the spot or himself visited the field and to his astonishment found that
not a single blade was trampled upon or eaten by the herd and the field was
green and fresh. *************************************** GURUDWARA CHAKI SAHIB During
his campaign against the Lodi Dynasty of India, Babar assaulted and destroyed
Saidpur, now known as Eminabad, in the Gujranwala district. There was a general
massacre of the Pathan and the Hindu inhabitants. *************************************** Gurdwara
