Gurudwara Nanak Jhira Sahib

During his second missionary journey to South India, the first Guru of the Sikhs, Guru Nanak Dev Ji, visited the ancient Hindu temple of Omkareshwar on the Narmada River and reached Naded after his stops at Nagpur and Khandwa. From Nanded he proceeded towards Hyderabad and Golconda where he met Muslim saints and then came to Bidar to meet Jalaluddin and Yakub Ali. Guru Sahib along with Bhai Mardana stayed on the outskirts of Bidar where the Nanak Jhira Gurdwara is now situated, nearby were the huts of Muslim fakirs who were eager to receive teachings and teachings from Guru Dev. Soon this news spread throughout Bidar and its surrounding areas and holy saints and people from the north started coming to Guru Dev in large numbers. There was an acute shortage of drinking water in the region of Bidar. People dug many wells for water but all their efforts had failed. Even if water came out of the well, it was also unfit for drinking. This pathetic condition of the people moved Guru Nanak Dev Ji. With the divine name on his lips and kindness in his heart, Guru Nanak Dev Ji touched the hill with his foot and removed the stone from that place. All the people were surprised as soon as the stone was removed. As soon as that stone was removed, a stream of cold and sweet water started coming out from that place. Soon that place came to be known as Nanak Jhira. A beautiful Gurudwara was built on the bank of that stream. Now the water of that stream collects in a small Amrit Kund made of white marble. There is a kitchen where Guru Ka Langar is prepared. Where passengers are given free food round the clock.
