Bhai Dharam Singh Gurudwara
The Bhai Dharam Singh Gurudwara, located in the village of Saifpur, is a site of immense historical and religious importance for the Sikh community. It marks the birthplace of Bhai Dharam Singh, who was one of the Panj Piare (the five beloved ones). In 1699, at Anandpur Sahib, he was the second per son to offer his head to Guru Gobind Singh Ji during the founding of the Khalsa. The Gurudwara stands as a tribute to his bravery and devotion. The atmosphere here is deeply spiritual, characterized by the continuous chanting of Gurbani. Pilgrims from all over the world visit this shrine to pay their respects to the soil that produced such a legendary warrior-saint. The Gurudwara also manages a large Langar (community kitchen) that serves free meals to everyone regardless of caste or creed, upholding the core Sikh values of equality and service.
