Why This Place Matters

A sacred Sikh Gurdwara commemorating the sixth Sikh Guru, Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji visit to Kurukshetra. This site represents the Guru teachings of combining spiritual wisdom with temporal courage (Miri-Piri concept).

Mahabharata Connection

Though not from Mahabharata era, Guru Hargobind Sahib visited this land where dharma was established through righteous war. His Miri-Piri philosophy (spiritual authority and temporal power) resonates with the Gita teaching of performing righteous action.
