Gurudwara Sri Paonta Sahib Himachal Pradesh

This Gurudwara is amongst the most famed Gurudwaras in India. It is situated in Sirmour district of Himachal Pradesh and has its popularity attributed to being a place where Guru Gobind Singh wrote the pious Dasam Granth. An important Sikh pilgrimage site, Paonta Sahib got its name from either the fact that Guru Gobind Singh set his foot here or because he lost an ornament here that he used to wear on his foot. Shri Talab Asthan and Shri Dastan Asthan are the vital places inside the Gurudwara; atShri Talab Asthan, salaries are disbursed and at Shri Dastan Asthan turban tying competition are held. Also, next to the Gurudwara is an ancient temple that is dedicated to the Yamuna River.
