Gurudwara Tham Sahib, located in Kartarpur town of Jalandhar district, was founded by Guru Arjun Dev Ji in 1598. He planted his sandalwood walking stick, or “Tham”, into the ground and declared it the support of the Sikh faith. This very stick is still preserved at the Gurudwara. Maharaja Ranjit Singh contributed significantly to the building of the current structure and its upkeep. Nearby is a historic well called Gangsar, believed to be connected to the Ganga. Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji also visited Kartarpur and fought his final battle here in 1634 against the Mughal forces, defeating the traitor Pendhe Khan.
