Kartarpur
Kartarpur is a historic border town located in the Narowal District of Punjab, Pakistan, situated on the west bank of the Ravi River. It holds immense religious and spiritual importance as one of the holiest sites in Sikhism, serving as a monumental bridge of peace between India and Pakistan. • The Final Home of Guru Nanak: Founded by Guru Nanak Dev, the founder of Sikhism, in the early 16th century, Kartarpur is where he spent the last 18 years of his life until he passed away in 1539. • Birthplace of Core Sikh Traditions: It was here that Guru Nanak established the first Sikh commune and institutionalized the core pillars of the faith: Kirat Karo (honest living), Vand Chhako (sharing with others), and Naam Japo (meditation). The traditions of Sangat (holy congregation) and Langar (free communal kitchen) were also heavily formalized in Kartarpur. • Gurdwara Darbar Sahib: This massive, peaceful, and beautifully designed white-marble shrine is built on the exact historic site where Guru Nanak lived, farmed, and assembled his followers.
