Gurdwara Tambu Sahib Nankana Sahib
A wild tree stands at this place. It is so old that
its long branches touch the ground. It is a bit high at the centre. According
to a Sikh legend, Guru Nanak rested for a while at this place, after returning
from Chuharakana, performing the true business. The Guru had fed the hungry
Sadhus with a sum of Rs. 20 /- obtained from his father. On knowing this,
Mehta kalu first felt annoyed with his son and afterwards brought him
home. On admonishing the son, the father recieved a reply that he had
spent his money in the true business. On hearing of this incident, Rai
Bular pleaded before Mehta Kalu by saying "Patwari Ji ! lest you
chide the boy, let me make it clear to you that the whole city is blessed
by his grace and presence". This Shrine is situated at a distance
of one kilometre from Gurdwara Janam Asthan. Pilgrims feel it their proud
privilege to pay their homage.
