EP-199 | Gurudwara Nanak Jhira Sahib, Bidar, Karnataka | Spiritual Journey of The Turban Traveller

In EP-199 | The Turban Traveller takes you to Gurdwara Nanak Jhira Sahib is a Sikh historical shrine situated in Bidar, in Karnatka . It is located at a short distance off one edge of the plateau on which Bidar is located, and there are sweeping views of the plains as you descend down the road to the present Gurudwara Sahib.


During his 2nd Udasi (second missionary tour) of South India, Guru Nanak Dev ji visited the ancient Hindu Temple of Om Kareswar and Nanded (where 200 years later Guru Gobind Singh spent his last days). From Nanded he proceeded towards Hyderabad and Golkonda where he met Muslim saints and then came to Bidar to meet Pir Jalaluddin and Yakoob

The Guru accompanied by his companion Bhai Mardana ji and stayed in the outskirts of the Bidar town where 'Nanak Jhira' Gurdwara is now located.

Nearby were huts of Muslim fakirs, who took keen interest in the sermons and teachings of the great Guru. The news soon spread throughout Bidar and its surrounding areas about the holy Saint of the North and large number of people started coming to him to have his "Darshan" and seek his blessings.

There used to be acute shortage of drinking water in Bidar. All efforts of the people to dig wells were of no avail. Even when wells produced water the water was found to be unfit for drinking.

The Guru was greatly moved by the miserable condition of the people. With divine name on his lips and the mercy in his heart he touched the hillside with his toe and removed some rubble from the place. To the utter surprise of all, a fountain of sweet, cool water gushed out of the hillside. The place soon came to be known as 'Nanak-Jhira'.

A beautiful Gurdwara has now been constructed by the side of the fountain. The water of the fountain is collected in a small 'Amrit-Khud' built in white marble.

The management of Gurdwara Sri Nanak Jhira Sahib now runs a free hospital, an engineering college, a Polytechnic, a college and two schools, one of them being in Hyderabad.
