Gurdwara Ber Sahib

Gurdwara Ber Sahib is named so because of the Ber tree which was planted over here by the first Guru, Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Now this Ber tree has grown into a huge tree and the Gurdwara is situated in Kartarpur, Punjab. According to the Sikh history, Guru ji stayed over this place for 14 years, 9 months and 13 days. He used to bathe in the river Kali Bein, also known as Kali Beri, and would meditate for hours. But one day he disappeared while having a bath and returned after 3 days. This was when the Guru Ji decided to begin preaching Sikhism.
