Introduction

Gurudwara Rori Sahib is located in the Jahman Village, Lahore, and Punjab, Pakistan. It is believed to be a site visited by Guru Nanak Dev ji. This holy place is about 25 km from the Lahore city and 2-3 km from the Pakistan-Indian border. The sacred Gurdwara of Sri Guru Nanak Sahib Ji is located about half a kilometer outside the village.

Puranic Significance

The place where Guru Dev Ji had stayed came to be known as Rori Sahib. He came to this place thrice because the grandparents of Guru Dev Ji were settled in the nearby Village called Dera Chahal. There was a small pool at that time which was later expanded into a tank by one of his followers, Naria, a dweller of this Village. It was through his preaching and devotion that a large number of Bhabray were converted to Sikhism. The construction of the Shrine was started by Bhai Wadhawa Singh and a beautiful Darbar was built. Fairs used to be held on Visakhi and 20th of Jaith. There is an endowment of ‘100 Bigha land in the name of Gurdwara. The tank has once again depleted into a small pool and the dome is in need of repairs. In case no repairs are carried within a short time it will become a heap of dust.”
