Sultanpur Lodhi, Punjab · 31.2165°, 75.1850°
Stands on the bank of the Kali Bein at Sultanpur Lodhi, the site Sikh tradition identifies with the revelation that began Guru Nanak's mission. The present building was begun in 1937–38 and completed in 1941–42 under Maharaja Jagatjit Singh of Kapurthala, and takes its name from a ber (jujube) tree said to have been planted by the Guru.
The janamsakhis relate that in 1499 Guru Nanak entered the Kali Bein to bathe, vanished for three days, and emerged declaring 'There is no Hindu, there is no Muslim.'
