Gurudwara Sri Nagina Ghat
Gurudwara Nagina Ghat is located about 400 meters south of Sri Hazur Sahib, along the Godavari River. The construction of this Gurudwara was initiated by Raja Gulab Singh Sethi, a ruler from Delhi, but it was completed by his widow in 1968. Inside, the Guru Granth Sahib is placed under a stunning white marble palanquin (Palki). A smaller room with a dome on the first floor adds to the Gurudwara’s architectural charm.
According to legend, Guru Gobind Singh Ji once observed the flowing Godavari River with his Sikh followers. A wealthy merchant offered him a precious stone called a Nagina, boasting about its value. To the merchant’s surprise, Guru Gobind Singh Ji casually threw the stone into the river. Upset, the merchant thought the Guru didn’t understand its worth.
Sensing the merchant’s thoughts, the Guru told him to retrieve the stone. When the merchant fished it out, he was astonished to see the river filled with countless sparkling gems. This lesson in humility and spiritual wisdom reminded the merchant that material wealth pales in comparison to spiritual understanding.
