Gurudwara Nanak Jhira Sahib

Welcome to Gurudwara Nanak Jhira Sahib. According to Sikh tradition, when Guru Nanak visited Bidar, a spring of sweet water — a jhira — came out of the hillside here, in a place that suffered from a shortage of drinking water. The gurudwara was built around this spring, and the water still flows into a pool used by pilgrims. Bidar is also the birthplace of Bhai Sahib Singh, one of the Panj Pyare, the five beloved ones of Sikh history. Everyone is welcome: cover your head, remove your shoes, and do share the free meal served in the langar.
