Kartarpur, Religious town in Punjab, Pakistan

Kartarpur sits on the right bank of the Ravi River, located 102 kilometers from Lahore in the Shakargarh Tehsil district of Punjab.

The town was established in 1504 by Guru Nanak, the first Sikh guru, who created a settlement where people from different religions lived together.

The name Kartarpur combines two Punjabi words: 'Kartar' meaning Creator and 'Pur' meaning City, reflecting its religious foundation and purpose.

The Kartarpur Corridor allows Indian Sikhs to visit the Gurdwara Darbar Sahib without a visa through a border crossing connecting both countries.

After Guru Nanak's death in 1539, both Hindu and Muslim followers built monuments in his honor, which later disappeared due to river changes.
