Gurudwaras Chheharta Sahib

Guru ki Vadali is the birthplace of the Sixth Guru, Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib, the son of Guru Arjan Dev Ji. To celebrate the birth of his son, Guru Arjan DevJi constructed a big well at this place. This well had six Persian wheels to draw out the water and thus came to be known as Chheharta, the well with six wheels. This well helped in removing water scarcity in the region and enabled the greening of the fields.


Location
Gurudwaras Chheharta Sahib is situated on the Amritsar - Gurusar Sultan Road, near village Guru ki Vadali, seven kms from Amritsar
