Gurudwara Shri Gwarighat Sangat Jabalpur

The founder of Sikhism Sri Guru Nanak Devji had visited to various places in order to spread his message and thus undertook his journey in four different directions from Punjab. During 1501, the Guru travelled to East and Southern part of India and while returning, he and his associate Mardana walked through the North east side of Narmada River till reaching the Jabalpur area and thus crossed the river. This famous Gurudwara is placed at Gwarighat, a famous place on the river side of Narmada in the Jabalpur City in Madhya Pradesh and thus presents a glittering look around. The Guru also had through his preaching and blessings reformed and changed the minds of various criminals and thieves by the Narmada river side.
