Anandpur Sahib

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

Anandpur Sahib

Sikh religious site renowned for being the birthplace of the Khalsa, the Panj Pyares, the five faithful ones, initiated here in 1699. The site is 75 km/47 mi from the Punjab capital of Chandigarh. Guru Gobind Singh spent much of his life here.

Starting his project in 1689, Guru Gobind Singh constructed five forts at Anandpur Sahib, which were later connected by underground tunnels. In more recent times, the gurdwara can be seen to burst with life at Baisakhi Mela, the Sikh New Year, and Hola Mohalla, when the re-enactment of past Sikh battles take centre stage.
