Gurdwara Beri Sahib

Gurdawara Bair Sahib also called as Baba Beri or Baba Bair is situated in Sialkot, Pakistan. It was the place where Baba Guru Nanak stayed and met Hazrat Hamza Ghaus - a famous saint of Sialkot. The Bair tree under which Guru Nanak had stayed is still present. The Gurdawara was built by Natha Singh. A big well was also constructed by him inside this Gurdwara and many Persian wheels worked in it. A beautiful tank was also there. It also includes a garden, a pool and residential rooms. The Gurdawara was damaged in the wake of the Babari Masjid dispute. There used to be a very high temple which was razed to ground when it was demolished by an unruly mob. The Gurdwara is in urgent need of repairs.
