Gurudwara Sahib.

Ambala city is situated on the National Highway popularly called Sher Shah Sun Marg about
190 km from Delhi and 48 km from Chandigarh. This city was sanctified by the sixth Guru Sri
Hargobind and Sri Guru Gobind Singh the tenth Guru. Gurudwara Manji Sahib was constructed at the place where the sixth Guru stayed during his visit to Ambala city. The grand building of the Gurudwara is located on the G.T. Road (Sher Shah Suri Marg). The devotees visit this shrine to have a dip in the tank nearby. They also take Amrit from the Baoli constructed by the sixth Guru, during his stay here. Gurdwara Baoli Sahib or Gurdwara Manji
Sahib - Guru Hargobind is said to have stayed here overnight while on his way to meet emperor Jahangir. The villagers of the nearby Khurampur Majri complained of perennial scarcity of drinking water. The Guru encouraged them a dig a baoli and instructed some Sikhs who lived here to assist the villagers in digging and lining the baoli. The Guru was pleased to see the work completed on his return from Delhi. The Sikhs established a memorial platform,
Manji Sahib, at the place where the Guru had stayed near the baoli. But the baoli again got partly filled up and fell into disuse. After the conquest of Sirhind in 1764, when the Dal Khalsa distributed territories among various misls, Ambala was occupied by Sardar Mehar Singh of
Nishananwali Misl. He got the baoli cleared and cleaned and established a Gurdwara at the site of the manji Sahib. This is the present Gurdwara Manji Sahib, the premier Gurdwara of
Ambala. Maharaja Hira Singh of Nabha (1871-1911) rebuilt it in the beginning of the 20th century. Further development took place after 1947. The Gurdwara is close to the first bus stop of the city when approached from Punjab by the Grand Trunk Road. The old baoli is still there and therefore the Gurdwara is also called Baoli Sahib.

1. Direct accessibility from NH-1 to facilitate easy entrance for the devotees/visitors.

Gurudwara Sahib.

Gurdwara Sri Guru Har Krishan Sahib Ji - 10 kilimetres northeast of Ambala City along the Ambala-Naraingarh road, marks the spot consecrated by Guru Har Krishan, by his stay during his journey from Kiratpur to Delhi in February 1664. The Guru had been summoned to meet the Emperor Aurangzeb. A large number of his followers, disturbed by summons from one known to be a bigoted tyrant, had followed the young Guru. As the caravan arrived at Panjokhara at the end of the third day of their journey, the Guru told them all except a few on the household staff to go back to their homes with a firm belief in the rightness of divine dispensation. There lived in Panjokhara a Brahaman,
Krishan Lal or Lal Ji, who was proud of his learning. Seeing the young Guru, he sarcastically remarked that the boy who bore the name of Krishna could not even read
Krishna's Bhagwad Gita. Guru Har Krishan simply smiled at the Brahman's impudence and, calling a passerby, Chhajju the water-carrier, made the latter give a discourse on
Gita. Such was the erudition of Chhajju that Lal Ji Pandit bent his head in shame and besought the Guru's forgiveness. The Guru resumed his journey after three days stay at
Panjokhara. A small memorial raised in honor of the Guru was developed into a
Gurdwara during the Sikh Rule, and during the past decade or two has become a vast complex including the double-storey sanctum entered through a spacious hall, Guru ka
Langar with a vast dining hall, and enclosed sarovar and ancillary buildings for staff and pilgrims. Besides largely attended Sunday morning congregations, an annual fair is held on Magh Sudi 7 to 9 (January - February) commemorating the days of the Guru's stay here over 300 years ago.

Gurdwara Lakhnaur Sahib derives its name from the village it is situated in. Lakhnaur is an old village 10 kilometres south of Ambala City and 7 kilometres from Ambala Cantonment. It was the ancestral village of
Guru Gobind Singh's mother, Mata Gujari, whose father, Baba Lal Chand Subhikhi, and brother Bhai Mehar
Chand, lived here. The marriage of Guru Tegh Bahadur to Mata Gujari had however taken place at Kartarpur near Jalandhar, and Lakhnaur had not been visited by the Gurus until Guru Gobind Singh, then a child of four years, arrived here from Patna in September 1670. He was accompanied by his mother, Mata Gujari, and grandmother, Mata Nanaki, and his maternal uncle, Kirpal Chand. Guru Tegh Bahadur had left Patna earlier and traveling via Delhi joined the family here at Lakhnaur, again to proceed onwards alone leaving the family behind. They stayed at Lakhnaur for over six months until, summoned by Guru Teg Bahadur, they joined the latter at Chakk Nanaki (Anandpur Sahib). It was at Lakhnaur that Pir Shah Bhikh (Bhikhan Shah) came and made his bow to the young Gobind Rai whose birth he had divined earlier as an event propitious for humanity.
Another Muslim divine, Pir Arif Din, is also said to have made obeisance to Guru Gobind Singh here. After the departure of the holy family, the house in which they had lived during their stay at Lakhnaur, was maintained as a holy shrine. During the later half of the eighteenth century when the Sikh misls held sway over the entire
Punjab from Indus to Yamuna, the house was converted into a proper Gurdwara. The Cis-Sutlej region fell under the British rule early in the nineteenth century. Soon after 1849, Maharaja Narinder Singh of Patiala acquired Lakhnaur and surrounding territory from the British in exchange for some of his own elsewhere.
Gurdwara Lakhnaur Sahib continued to be maintained and administered under Patiala's Dharam-arth Board upto 1956, when, consequent to the merger of P.E.P.S.U. in Punjab, the administration passed to the Shiromani
Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee. The Gurdwara building in the centre of a large walled compound has some distinctive architectural features. Sta ding on 10-feet high ground, it is itself within a high enclosure. The 20feet square sanctum, with a high dome on the centre of the roof and a kiosk at each corner, is entered through a rectangular vestibule covered with elongated dome. The entire interior including the cupola is artistically painted. A vast congregation hall, 120x40x10-feet has been constructed in the outer compound recently. A deep-bore well has been installed within an old baoli or open well. Another well in the open ground outside the village, half a furlong from the Gurdwara building is called Mata Gujari da Khuh (Mother Gujari's Well). This was constructed within an older but dilapidated well at the instance of Mata Gujari in 1670-71, and still used as a source of sweet drinking water

Title : Gurudwara Sahib.

Near district courts Ambala city, commemorates the visit of Guru Gobind Singh who stayed here while coming from Lakhnaur, where he had gone to meet his maternal parents.
He &amped in the garden, under a cluster of trees. A tank has also been built near the
Gurudwara Badshahi Bagh.GurudwaraBadshahi Bagh commemorates the visit of Guru
Gobind Singh Ji, the Tenth Guru, who visited this place around 1670 during one of his excursions to Lakhnaur. While on a hunting trip one day on his horse, he came to a big garden just outside the city of Ambala. Then only a small child of eight years, he had with him his white hawk as well. The garden belonged to Pir Amir Din, the custodian of the
Muslim shrines of the city. He happened to be present in the garden at the same time. Pir
Amir Din had with him a black hawk. On seeing Guruji’s white hawk, the Pir took a liking to it and began thinking of how to take it himself. He threw a challenge to the Guru for a fight between the two hawks. But, Guruji realizing the real intention of the Pir, refused and said that instead of the hawk, he would make sparrows fight the Pir’s hawk. The Pir laughed and said that sparrows were food for his hawk, but Guruji repeated his words.
With this, Guruji called upon two sparrows that were sitting on a tree to fight with the hawk. The sparrows fought so ferociously that the hawk was injured badly. It finally fell to its death about a kilometer away, near Labbu ka Talaab, the site of
GurudwaraGobindpura. The Pir realized his folly and built a platform in honor of the
Guru. It is here that Guru Gobind Singh uttered his famous words: Chirion se main baaz turaun, Tabe Gobind Singh naam kahaun. (It is when I make sparrows fight hawks that I am called Gobind Singh
)
