Gurdwara Janam Asthan, Sacred Sikh temple in Nankana Sahib, Pakistan
The Gurdwara Janam Asthan features traditional Sikh architectural elements with white marble walls, multiple domes, and an expansive courtyard surrounding the central shrine.
The original structure dates from 1600 CE and received major modifications in 1819 under Maharaja Ranjit Singh's patronage, establishing its current architectural layout.
The gurdwara marks the birthplace of Guru Nanak, founder of Sikhism, making it one of the most sacred destinations for Sikh pilgrims worldwide.
Visitors need to obtain special permits from Pakistani authorities to access the gurdwara, which maintains regular prayer sessions and langar services throughout the day.
The complex contains nine separate gurdwaras within Nankana Sahib, each commemorating different aspects of Guru Nanak's early life and spiritual journey.
