Gurdwara Janam Asthan, located in Nankana Sahib, Punjab, is one of the most revered Sikh religious sites

It marks the birthplace of Baba Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism and the first of the ten Sikh Gurus

Baba Guru Nanak was born on Baisakh Sudi 3, 1526 Bikrami (April 15, 1469 AD).

The structure marking the place of Guru Nanak’s birth was initially built by his grandson, Baba Dharam Chand. This early shrine consisted of a single room known as ‘Kalu ka Kotha’

In 1819–1820 AD, the current gurdwara building was constructed during the reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh

The Gurdwara Janam Asthan at Nankana Sahib is a significant example of Sikh religious architecture, demonstrating both spiritual and functional design rooted in the Sikh tradition

It encompasses various dedicated spaces including areas for religious activities, a langar hall, sarovar (sacred pool), and residential quarters for visiting pilgrims (yatris)

The primary gurdwara structure showcases a broad facade characteristic of Sikh architectural style

Thousands of devotees visit annually, particularly on significant dates such as the birth anniversary of Baba Guru Nanak Dev Ji

Sikh sangats (congregations) from abroad continue to visit the gurdwara, affirming its spiritual and cultural significance within the Sikh community
