Gurudwara Killa Sahib
Gurudwara Killa Sahib marks the site where Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji, accompanied by Bhai Jetha Ji, Bhai Paida Ji, Bhai Bidhi Chand Ji, Bhai Gattu Ji, Bhai Nagaha Ji and other devoted Sikhs, arrived from Amritsar in response to the appeal of Baba Almast Ji. Baba Almast, a devout follower of Guru Nanak Sahib Ji, had been serving and preserving the sacred site at Nanakmatta. However, some Gorakhpanthi ascetics forcibly took over the site and expelled him.
Distressed by this injustice, Baba Almast Ji then came to this location and prayed to Guru Sahib for help. Guru Hargobind Ji immediately set out with his companions, reaching this place and tying their horses to wooden pegs—’kille’—which later transformed into trees. In reverence, they removed their shoes and continued barefoot to Nanakmatta Sahib to resolve the matter.
This Gurudwara serves as a profound reminder that the Guru always answers prayers offered with genuine sincerity and a pure heart.
