Gurdwara Sacha Sauda
Sheikhupura
Punjab
The name of the Gurdwara comes from a tale that is about Guru Nanak. Gurdwara Sacha Sauda is where Baba Guru Nanak gave his money to a poor person instead of spending it on his father's business. "I have done Sacha Sauda," he said when he got home with nothing. But Nanak said that feeding the hungry was the best way to spend money and the most profitable thing to do. He called this "Sacha Sauda."Ranjeet Singh built the gurdwara on the spot where the sadhus were fed. Gujjars had encroached on this Gurdwara, which was already in a poor condition. In 1992, the ETPB was responsible for its evacuation, and years later, it was brought back to its original state.
