History

Gurudwara Amb Sahib commemorates the visit of the seventh Sikh Guru, Guru Har Rai Ji, to this location. Legend has it that Guru Har Rai Ji, while travelling through the area, rested under a mango (Amb) tree. A devotee, Bhai Kooram, offered him selfless service. Pleased with his devotion, the Guru blessed the mango tree, ensuring it would always bear fruit, even out of season. The gurudwara was later built to commemorate this event and the Guru's visit. The 'Amb' (mango) tree, though not the original, is still present within the complex, symbolizing the Guru's blessing and the enduring faith of his followers. The gurudwara continues to be a place of pilgrimage and devotion for Sikhs and others seeking blessings.
