Kartarpur, Pakistan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kartarpur (meaning: The City of God), is a small village located on the West bank of the Ravi River in Punjab, Pakistan. The original abode established by Guru Nanak was washed away by floods of the river Ravi. The Gurudwara at Kartarpur can be seen from another Gurudwara located across the border at the historical town of Dehra Baba Nanak in India (It is not Dera, as so many people wrongly call it. Dehra is derived from the word Deh or body). The village was established during the 1520s by the first Guru of Sikhism, Guru Nanak. He spent his last years of life and passed away in Kartarpur. It is one of the holiest places in Sikhism located in the Majha region.
