Historical Gurdwaras of Punjab
Guru Arjan
In Memory of Guru Ram
Das
Gurdwara Sri Tarn Taran Sahib, Dist. Amritsar
Around
1590 Guru Arjan set out on a tour of the country between the rivers
Ravi and Beas. Here Guru Arjan bought some land and laid the foundation
of a Gurdwara in honor of Guru Ram Das and started the excavation of a
tank even larger than Amritsar. The Gurdwara has one of the largest tanks
and resembles the Golden Temple, except that it is built on the side of
the tank and has a marble exterior. Guru Arjan also established the
first home for lepers in India at Tarn Taran.
