Ladakh is known for its Monasteries but did you know there lies a peaceful Gurudwara amidst the Himalayas and it dates back to the 15th century.
About 12000 ft above the sea level on the Leh Kargil road, there lies a rock which resembles the shape of Guru Nanak’s back. There are many stories around it but the local Ladakhis and many tourists believe in the spiritual powers that exist at Gurudwara Pathar Sahib. Nestled between beautiful mountains, the gurudwara is 25 kms before Leh.
GURUDWARA PATHAR SAHIB
Gurudwara Pathar Sahib, most revered place where Guru Nanak Dev ji, founder of the Sikh religion is believed to have conquered a demon. Legend has it that once Guru Nakak ji was meditating at this place and a demon had thrown a big rock to obstruct his prayers but the boulder turned into soft wax that failed to harm him, seeing this the demon asked for penance for his deed and Guru Nanak ji forgave him. The boulder with the imprint of the body of Guru Nanak Dev and the footprint of the demon is on display in Gurdwara Pathar Sahib. Albeit, the area is known majorly for Buddhism but Gurudwara Pathar Sahib is equally worshipped by anyone who visits this place. It is maintained by the Indian Army.
