Gurudwara Chubara Sahib

Gurudwara Chaubara Sahib is another sacred shrine situated in the town Machiwara in Ludhiana District, where three other Gurudwaras exist, which include Gurudwara Ghani Khan Nabi Khan, Gurudwara Charan Kamal Sahib and Gurudwara Alamgir Sahib. It is this place where Guru Gobind Singhji rested for a night, while at Gurudwara Charan Kamal Sahib is where Guruji had a sip of water and  three of his devotees Bhai Mani Singh, Bhai Dharam and Bhai Daya Singh joined him in the risky travel. It is at Alamgir Sahib that Guruji offered Hukumnama to the two brothers Ghani Khan and Nabi Khan.

Gurudwara Chaubara Sahib was at that time the house of Bhai Gulaba and lies in a place at Ludhiana-Chandigarh highway from at a distance of 42 km from Samrala and 46 km from Ropar.

Guru Gobind Singh Ji arrived at  Machiwara  escaping from Chamkaur Sahib, first stopping in a garden about one mile east of the town and coming to this spot for resting.

History

The tenth Holy Guru of Sikhism, Guru Gobind Singhji made a historical tour around 1705AD to Machiwara in the Ludhiana district of Punjab State. He rested for a night in the attic belonging to Gulaba and Punjaba, and formerly Masand Gulaba was known to Guruji for he was the one who used to supply ration for him at Anandpur Sahib. Guruji, with the help of two Muslim brothers, who were his devotees too and supplied him horses earlier at Anandpur, disguised himself as Pir of Uchch by wearing a blue colored clothing went from this place to Alamgir. In the process of disguising himself, Guruji created an earthen pot for the dyer to dye his cloths, which is still kept as a relic in Gurudwara Ghani Khan Nabi Khan Sahib as a relic.

Main building of Gurudwara Chaubara Sahib has been renovated and complete, with little further scope for expansion.

It is in this location that Guru Gobind Singhji sang the shabad "Mitra Pyare Nu". The Gurudwara has its water supplies from the very same well believed to be the one from which the garden was watered during Guruji’s time of visit.  This Gurudwara conducts an annual congregation fair during December, on 9th & 10th of Poh, which were the days of that month when Guruji stayed at Machiwara.
