  • Damdama Sahib

Here Raja Ajmer Chand together with two Mughals, Sayyed Beg and Alaf Khan made a surprise attack on the Guru but was badly beaten back. The Mughal General was so impressed by the charismatic personality of the Guru that he became his devotee.

This is an example of the spirit of tolerance and acceptance that the Sikh philosophy propounds.
  • Patna Sahib

Encircled by seven snow clad peaks and their associated glaciers, it reflects its surroundings enchantingly on its crystal clear serene waters. The glaciers from Hathi Parvat and Saptrishi peaks feed the lake and a small stream called Himganga flows out of this lake.
