Gurdwara Gwari Ghat Jabalpur










Gwarighat is a famous river bank (ghat) on the banks of the river Narmada in the city of Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh, India.

It is associated with Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of Sikhism.

Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji undertook four journeys, also known as Udaasis (literally a somber state of mind, here - travels), in order to spread his message. He traveled four times in four different directions from his native Punjab. During his first Udasi starting in 1501 CE he traveled to eastern and southern India. During his return towards Punjab he stopped at Gwarighat and preached there. There is a Gurudwara (a Sikh temple) Gurdwara Gwari Ghat on the picturesque bank of the Narmada river to commemorate Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji's visit.
