Travel Tips Of Tilla Baba Farid

Faridkot, Punjab, India
Spiritual History and Saint's Meditation: Gurdwara Sri Tilla Baba Farid is a highly revered historical and religious site, built upon the 'Tilla' or mound where the great Sufi Saint and poet, Hazrat Baba Sheikh Fariduddin Ganjshakar, is believed to have meditated for forty days in the 13th century. "This spiritual act of Baba Farid during his time as a laborer at the fort (Mokalhar) construction, which included the famous miracle of the mud basket floating over his head, is the foundational legend of the city, leading to its renaming to Faridkot." The Gurdwara now commemorates this event, bridging the Sikh faith with the Sufi tradition, as Baba Farid's verses are incorporated into the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy book of the Sikhs. "The sacred relic preserved here is the piece of wood (Thanda) with which Baba Farid is said to have wiped his hands after working with mud, a powerful symbol of his humility and spiritual power." The site is a living testament to interfaith harmony and a major center for daily prayers (Shabad-Kirtan) and the community kitchen (Langar).
