Gurudwara Mata Sahib Kaur
This Gurudwara is dedicated to Mata Sahib Kaur Ji, the wife of the tenth Guru, Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, and the spiritual Mother of the Khalsa. While the primary historical site for Mata Ji is in Rohtas (Pakistan), this local shrine in Nawanshahr serves as a place for the community to honor her im mense contribution to the Sikh faith. It is a center for women's empowerment and religious education, reflecting the strong and pious character of Mata Ji. The Gurudwara often hosts programs that focus on the role of women in Sikh history. It is a relatively smaller and more intimate site compared to the main city Gurudwaras, providing a tranquil space for women and families to pray and reflect. The presence of this Gurudwara highlights the deep respect the people of Nawanshahr have for the female figures of the Guru’s household. It is a place of great dignity and spiritual grace.
