Makhdoom Pur Pahoran, Khanewal district, Punjab · 30.4531°, 72.0490°
A gurdwara in Khanewal district marking the inn of Sajjan Thug, where Sikh tradition places Guru Nanak's encounter with him; the inn was turned into a shrine to commemorate the meeting. The present building was raised in Samvat 1970 by a descendant of Bhai Jodh Singh.
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.
Sajjan is said to have robbed the travellers he sheltered until Guru Nanak sang him a hymn on the worthlessness of a bronze vessel that is bright outside and black within, upon which he confessed and became a follower.
