Nada Sahib, Sikh temple in Panchkula district, India.
Nada Sahib is a two-story domed structure standing on the banks of the Ghaggar-Hakra River within the Sivalik Hills region. The complex includes a central prayer hall, courtyards for visitors, and dining spaces where meals are prepared and served daily to all who come.
The site marks where Guru Gobind Singh stopped in 1688 after the Battle of Bhangani while traveling from Paonta Sahib to Anandpur Sahib. This journey represented a turning point in early Sikh history and this location became revered as a result.
The site holds meaning for Sikhs as a place where the Guru himself rested during travels through the region. People come here to experience the community spirit that defines Sikh practice through shared meals and worship.
The location sits about 15 kilometers from Chandigarh and operates throughout the day from early morning until evening. Visitors should expect walking on unpaved paths and outdoor areas, particularly during wet weather, and should wear comfortable shoes since much of the experience involves moving around the riverside setting.
Local tradition holds that prayers spoken during five consecutive full moon nights at this location receive special consideration for being answered. This belief draws visitors back repeatedly as the moon cycles through its phases.
