Gurdwara Tham Sahib, Kartarpur

When visiting the Jalandhar area Guru Arjan Dev purchased some land and founded the town of Kartarpur. A sandalwood post (Tham) stands in the Gurdwara, Guru Arjan Dev had stuck it into the ground exclaiming "This shall be the support of our faith." The village which rapidly thrived under his protection and patronage, is now a town of considerable importance. Guru Arjun's stick is still shown to the pilgrims. It is a stout piece of sandalwood, known as Tham. This shrine is called Gurdwara 'Tham Sahib'.
