Anandpur Sahib, Religious city in Rupnagar district, India.
Anandpur Sahib sits between the Shivalik Hills and Sutlej River, featuring numerous religious buildings and fortifications across its elevated terrain at 286 meters.
Guru Tegh Bahadur established the settlement in 1665 by purchasing land from the Bilaspur ruler, initially naming it Chak Nanki after his mother.
The Hola Mohalla festival brings together thousands of participants annually for martial arts demonstrations, religious ceremonies, and community gatherings.
Visitors can access the city through National Highway 503, with accommodation options including government tourist huts and a 70-bed facility in nearby Nangal.
Five interconnected forts, constructed over a decade under Guru Gobind Singh's direction, protected the city through an intricate system of earthworks and tunnels.
