Gurdwara Baba Atal is a famous Gurdwara of Amritsar. Many of the millions of pilgrims that visit the Harmandir Sahib every year do not realise that one of Amritsar’s finest architectural marvels, and one of the Sikh religion's most poignant places of worship, is just a short walk from the famous Harmandir Sahib.
Architecture
Built some two centuries ago, the Baba Atal Gurdwara is a touching commemoration of the young life of Baba Atal Rai, the son of Guru Hargobind. Its nine storeys echo his nine years of life before his death in 1628.[1]
