Ancient gurdwara reflects enduring spiritual heritage
A Sikh gurdwara located in historic town of Makhdoom Pur Pahoran, in Khanewal sector, continues to stand as an important symbol of Sikh heritage, interfaith harmony and cultural history in southern Punjab.
The centuries-old gurdwara is associated with Baba Guru Nanak Dev Ji and holds deep spiritual significance for the Sikh community.
According to local traditions, Guru Nanak stayed at the site during his journey from Delhi to Multan in the 15th century, making it a revered place for Sikh pilgrims.
Before the partition of the subcontinent in 1947, large numbers of Sikh devotees regularly visited the gurdwara. Following the migration of the Sikh inhabitants after partition, parts of the building came under province use and are currently being used as a general school.
Locals say the gurdwara once included a historic well, guest houses and a pond used for bathing, all of which are frequently observed in oral histories and accounts of pilgrims who visited the shrine over the years. Despite the passage of time, Sikh pilgrims from India as well as countries including Australia, the United States and several European nations continue to visit the site to pay homage and reconnect with their spiritual heritage.
Makhdoom Pur Pahoran itself is regarded as an ancient town known for its cultural and religious importance.
