About Gurudwara Rewalsar Sahib

Gurudwara Rewalsar Sahib

Gurdwara Rawalsar Sahib is located high on the hillside above the lake known as Rawalsar and the town that has grown up around its shores. Rawalsar (also spelled Rewalsar) is a town in the Mandi district in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh about about 15-25Km west of Mandi. Guru Gobind Singh visited the site once on the occasion of Baisakhi to meet with Raja Siddh Sen of Mandi and some other local hill chiefs to discuss their troubles with Aurangzeb. The Guru stayed at Rawalsar for a month. A Gurdwara was constructed here by devotees of the Guru to perpetuate his memory. Adjoining the Gurdwara is a big tank, whose water has medicinal value. A dip in this tank is considered auspicious. The Gurdwara is built of stone and one can it by climbing 108 stairs. People visit this Shrine with great Devotion. It is a sacred place for Buddhists too. Many people from Tibet come here on pilgrimage, to pay homage to Buddhist Shrine situated here.
