Gurdwara Baoli Sahib Guru Arjan Dev Ji (Lahore)

This Gurdwara is situated in the famous busy market of Dabbi Bazar in the centre of Lahore city. One side of this Gurdwara adjoins Dabbi Bazar the second is adjusted to Loha Bazar, the third opens on Kesera Bazar and the fourth borders the Guru Bazar when ever Guru Arjan Dev visited Lahore he prefered to stay there. The Guru got a baoli built there. In A.D. 1599, when Guru Arjan Dev, the redeeemer of the mankind came to Lahore, Bhai Chhajju Bhagat came along with a pathan to pay his respect to the Guru and put a bag full of 282 mohars at the feet of the Guru, requesting him to utalise the same for religious works. The Guru asked as to where this money had come from. On this, the Bhagat narrated the story thus: "My pathan friend gave me this bag to keep in safe custody but my accountant (munim) forgot to register this money in his ledger (Vahi-Khata) and by the passage of time, I too, forgot all about it. When the pathan came asking for his money, I refused to pay as my records mentioned nothing of the sort. The case was taken to the official (Hakam) where the pathan lost his case. But while cleaning the shop before Diwali, I found the bag. I put extra Rs.100 therein and try to return the same to my friend with apologies. But the pathan refused to take it as he had lost the case. Niether he considered that money his nor could take it as mine.
