Rohtas Fort, Jhelum district, Punjab · 32.9711°, 73.5733°
A gurdwara built beside a spring within the walls of Rohtas Fort in Jhelum district, marking a place associated with Guru Nanak's travels. An earlier memorial raised by Charat Singh was replaced by the present building, commissioned by Maharaja Ranjit Singh and finished in 1834.
What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.
Sikh tradition holds that when Bhai Mardana complained of thirst, Guru Nanak struck the ground with his staff and a spring appeared; Sher Shah Suri's engineers are said to have tried three times, and failed, to move the spring up the hill to serve his new fort.
