Gurudwara Patthar Sahib

Leh, Ladakh, India
Gurudwara Patthar Sahib is a beautiful and serene Gurudwara that is revered by both Sikhs and Buddhists. It is believed to have been built to commemorate the visit of Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, in 1517. According to a local legend, a demon living in the area was causing trouble for the peop le. Guru Nanak arrived and meditated in the area. The demon, in a fit of rage, pushed a huge boulder towards him, but the boulder turned to soft wax and took the shape of Guru Nanak's back, leaving him unharmed. The Gurudwara was built around this sacred boulder. The Indian Army maintains the Gurudwara, and the atmosphere is one of peace and harmony.
