Gurudwara Sri Dehra Sahib, Batala

Gurudwara Sri Dehra Sahib, Batala, also known as Viah Asthan Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, marks the house where Bhai Mul Chand lived and where the nuptials were performed.

It is situated along a narrow lane called Gali Dehra Sahib between Tibba Bazar and Bara Bazar. In his later days, Mul Chand shifted back to his native Village, Pakkhoke Randhave, and his house in Batala became a holy shrine for the Sikhs. Sri Gur Pratap Suraj Granth mentions that Guru Hargobind, at the time of the wedding of his son, Baba Gurditta, visited this house. It continued to be in private possession until taken over by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee in 1921-22. A civil suit filed by the original occupants ended in the early forties by an agreement, out of court, under which the plaintiff, Mahant Harbans Singh, surrendered his right of ownership on receipt of appropriate compensation for the property attached to the Gurdwara.

Gurudwara Sri Dehra Sahib is situated in the middle of Batala town of Gurdaspur district. It is situated in the back of Gurudwara Sri Kandh Sahib. At Gurudwara Sri Dehra Sahib, Guru Nanak Dev ji’s marriage was performed.
