Takhat Sachkhand Sri Hazur Abchalnagar Sahib

Takhat Sachkhand Sri Hazur Abchalnagar Sahib is the principal shrine at about half a kilometre from the left bank of the river Godavari, Nanded, Maharashtra. It marks the site where the Guru had his camp in 1708 A.D. after the departure of the emperor Bahadur Shah. The tenth Guru held his court and congregation here. It is the site of his own tent where he was convalescing after he was attacked by assassins. It is the place from where the tenth Guru rose to heaven along with his horse Dilbag.

In 1708, being prescient of the end of his earthly role, the Guru had despatched Banda Singh with five of his Sikhs to Punjab and Mata Sahib Devan under a separate escort to Delhi before the stabbing incident. He told the rest of his retinue to retire to their homes if they so wished, but he bade one Bhai Santokh Singh to stay on here and keep Guru ka langar going. Many others also chose to remain. Together they built a room over the platform where he used to sit while holding his court and installed Guru Granth Sahib on it. They called it Takhat Sahib. Guru Gobind Singh, while conferring Guruship on the holy Book, had himself named Nanded as Abchalnagar (meaning steadfast city) after the first word of a hymn read at random on the occasion. Sachkhand (meaning region of Truth) had been used by Guru Nanak Dev to mean the abode of God.

The present building of the Takhat Sahib was constructed by Maharaja Ranjit Singh with money, artisans and labour sent from Punjab during the early 1830s. The complex of the Takhat Sahib is spread over several hectares. Besides the Takhat Sahib proper it also includes two other shrines: Bunga Mai Bhago Ji, comprising a large room where Guru Granth Sahib is seated and where historical weapons — steel quoits, a broad sword, a steel bow and an arrow, a gilded dagger-sized sword, a few swords and a mace — are on display; and Angitha Bhai Daya Singh and Dharam Singh, the two survivors of the battle of Chamkaur who were among the Panj Piare.

Gurudwara Gupatsar Sahib, Manmad

Manmad Gurudwara is situated at Manmad, a major junction on the Delhi to Mumbai route. Before the Sachkhand Express began running, pilgrims had to change trains at this station to travel to Shri Hazur Sahib, Nanded. Guru Gobind Singh Ji brought two royal prisoners — Balarao and Rustumrao — from Satara Fort here by holding the stirrups of his horse. There was then very dense forest at the place of the Manmad Gurudwara. Sant Baba Nidhan Singh Ji started karseva for constructing the Gurudwara here by clearing the dense forest with the help of his people. A hidden bauli was found while constructing the Gurudwara; after cleaning the well it was noticed that its water is divine and sweet. Because of this hidden well (Gupta Kuwan) the Gurudwara was later named Gurudwara Gupatsar Sahib. We also organise tours for Manmad Gurudwara with Hazur Sahib tours.
