Paonta Sahib Gurudwara

In 1685, the young Guru and his family were moved from the village of Nanaki Chak, India further into the Himalayas. Another drawing by artist B.S Malhans vividly captures the serene beauty of the location. The Gurudwara marking the Gurus residence is on the banks of the quietly flowing river Jumna. The township came to be known as Paonta Sahib. Here the Guru spent his time advancing his classical education and nurturing his poetic genius. At the same time he honed his military and administrative skills, preparing himself well for his role as the spiritual and martial leader of the Sikhs.
