Gurdwara Bal Lilah Nankana Sahib
Gurdwara Bal Lilah is situated 400 yards away from the
holy shrine of Janam Asthan. The holy pond Nanaksar with this Gurdwara
was got built by Rai Bular, the ruler of Talwandi. As is apparent from
the name, this site is related with the wonderful adventure of the early
childhood of the Guru. The Guru in his infancy, used to transport the
enlightment of the Nama in the minds of his mates, while playing with
them. The Gurdwara had formerly 120 acres of land and a little cash endowment
also. Before the Saka of 1921, the arrangement of this Gurdwara was in
the hands of the Nirmala Singhs. Besides Tirath Singh, the Mahant there
were also 37 other patidaars. The Gurdwara came under the panthic management
at the time of the Gurdwara Sudhar Movement. This Gurdwara remained in
the panthic hands up to 1947, but after the partition, the Pakistan Waqf
Board has been serving the Gurdwara. The sarovar adjacent to the Gurdwara
is lying dried up and the Gurdwara is opened only at the time of visiting
to it by the Sikhs. There is no arrangement of Parkasha of Guru Granth
Sahib. It is only the building which is safe and sound.
