Gurudwara Shri Lakhpat Sahib Ji - Kutch (Gujarat)
Khadave Shri Guru Nanak Dev ji.
In the Course of Guru Nanak Dev ji's Travels (Udasis) Guru
Nanak Dev ji visited Gujarat and onto Lakhpat. In old times
Lakhpat was past of Sind (Now in Pakistan). Lakhpat is 170
Kms from Gandhidham, Gujarat (India). In sixteen century it
was known as "Basta Bander".
Lakhpat used to be rice growing area and was a popular port
also, but due to Earthquake of 1819 A.D., the area became
barren and crops withered away for want of water because river
disappeared.
To commorate the visit of Lakhpat by Guru Nanak Dev ji,
a Gurudwara was built in the early years of Nineteenth Century
and a vast tract of land was bestowed to Gurudwara to make
up expenses for maintenance and to look after the visitors,
from the revenue from the land and the crops grown there.
Lakhpat is about 20 Km from KORIANI village where there is
a big Srover in memory of the visit by Guru Nanak Dev ji.
From Lakhpat Guru crossed to SONMIANI port in Sind for going
to MECCA MADINA (Saudi Arabia).
