Gurdwara Baba Gurditta is a Sikh shrine located in the village of Chandpur Rurki in the Ropar district of Punjab, India. It is dedicated to Baba Gurditta, the eldest son of Guru Hargobind Sahib, the sixth Sikh Guru. The gurdwara is built on the site where Baba Gurditta is believed to have lived and meditated. It has a beautiful white marble facade and is surrounded by lush green gardens. The gurdwara complex also includes a Sarovar (sacred pool) and a langar hall where free meals are served to all visitors, regardless of their caste, religion, or social status.
The history of the gurdwara is closely linked to the life of Baba Gurditta. He was a devout Sikh and a warrior who fought alongside his father in battles against the Mughal Empire. Baba Gurditta is also known for his spiritual teachings and is considered a saint in Sikhism.
According to Sikh tradition, Baba Gurditta was chosen by his father to be the next Sikh guru. However, Baba Gurditta declined the position and instead chose his younger brother, Guru Tegh Bahadur, as the ninth Sikh guru. Baba Gurditta passed away in Chandpur Rurki in 1638, and the gurdwara was built in his memory.
The Gurdwara is a place of pilgrimage for Sikhs and is visited by thousands of devotees every year. It is known for its peaceful ambiance and is a great place to meditate and connect with the divine. The gurdwara also hosts religious ceremonies and festivals throughout the year, which are attended by people from all over the world.
