Gurudwara Nanak Jhira Sahib Karnataka

It is one of the most important Gurudwaras in India and is situated in Bidar, Karnataka. The Gurudwara got its name after a popular incident which took place here; according to legends, Guru Nanak was staying on the outskirts of Mardana, where there was shortage of water and despite the efforts of the village people, drinkable water was hard to find. It is believed that Guru Nanak touched a part of the hillside with his toes and removed some debris after which a fountain of sweet water gushed out from there. Today, on the side of the fountain is where the Gurudwara Nanak Jhira Sahib stands. The Gurudwara is thronged by a large number of devotees thrice in a year i.e on Holi, Dusshera and Guru Nanaks Birthday.
