Gurudwara Barchha Sahib is a gurudwara in Dhanpur, in Assam, India. Origin The origin of this gurudwara is recounted thus. During his long wanderings, Guru Nanak visited Dhanpur. Here people worshiped in the temple of Goddess Kamakshi Devi. In those days it was ruled by Queen Nur Shah. Guru Nanak converted the queen and her subjects to Sikhism. She begged the Guruji to leave some of his belongings with her as token of a memento. Guru Nanak left his barchha (lance) which he was carrying with him in the travel through jungles. He marked a place with his lance, where a pond was dug as desired by the Guru. The shrine built near this site is known as Gurdwara Barchha Sahib. |
