This town was established after the river Ravi flooded Kartarpur, the village established by Guru Nanak. The community moved across the river to the present location and built the gurdwara as a shrine for the Guru. Built upon a large well, of importance to any community, one could earlier see the site of the old village from the roof. The complex also includes a sarovar and a langar hall is being built. Until then, food is prepared and plates washed in a kitchen open to the sky.
