Guru
Nanak was married here to Bibi Sulakhani. He was engaged to the daughter
of Mul Chand Chauna who along with the Brahmin priests insisted on a traditional
Hindu marriage while Guru Nanak wanted a simple marriage. Guru Nanak was
sitting besides a crooked mud wall (kandh) discussing the marriage plans
with the Brahmin clergy. It was planned to push the wall on top of the
Guru but Guru Nanak was warned of the plan by an old woman. Guru Nanak
just smiled and said "This wall will not fall for centuries. The will
of God shall prevail." The wall is still preserved within the Gurdwara
and a celebration is held here every year on the anniversary of Guru Nanak's
marriage. |
