Gurudwara Chevin Patshahi, Basti Shaikh, Jalandhar
Gurudwara Chevin Patshahi, located in Basti Shaikh, Jalandhar, marks the site where Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji, the sixth Guru of the Sikhs, visited the residence of a respected Muslim saint known as Shaikh Darvesh. The saint, showing foresight and reverence, blindfolded himself before meeting the Guru so he could truthfully claim before the Mughal authorities that he had not seen him.
Their meeting was deeply spiritual, involving profound discussions on divine matters. The saint was greatly influenced by Guru Sahib’s wisdom and humility. The Gurudwara now stands at the very place where Shaikh Darvesh lived, serving as a symbol of interfaith harmony and mutual respect.
