Quote by Guru Nanak: "Speak only that which will bring you honor". The Kartarpur Corridor is known as the corridor of ‘international peace & harmony’ is a 4.2-km-long passage connecting the town of Dera Baba Nanak in India with the Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara in Pakistan. Facts 1. Opened by PM. Imran Khan on 09 Nov 2019, just days before the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak. This historic moment officially allowed Indian Sikh pilgrims rare visa-free access to the site. 2. The Congregation is notable for its location. The Shrine is visible from the Indian border. Indian Sikhs gather in large numbers to perform darshan (sacred viewing) of the site. 3. It is also claimed to be the largest Gurdwara in the world & the second holiest site of the Sikh Religion. Guru Nanak (founder of Sikhism, & the first Guru) built town by Ravi River in 1515, plowing the fields & setting up a Sikh community kitchen, or Langar, after his missionary travels & lived for 18 years until his death on 22 September 1539. The Gurdwara is built where Guru Nanak is said to have died. 4. He gave the three principles of Kirat Karo, Naam Japo, Wand Chako, which means work hard for a livelihood, keep remembering the God & share your bounties with the world. Guru's teachings have been peace, harmony & universal brotherhood. He believed in equality between castes, religions & genders. 5. The main Building was built in 1925 at a cost of Rs.1,35,600/- donated by Sardar Bhupindar Singh, the Maharaja of Patiala. It was further expanded in Nov 2018 with the construction of a new courtyard, museum, library, dormitories & locker rooms spread across an area of 42 acres (17 hectares). There is a 20-foot well, which is 500 years old & believed to have been built during the lifetime of Guru Nanak Dev. |
