The birthplace of the Khalsa Panth, Keshgarh Sahib in Anandpur radiates courage and spiritual sovereignty — a living symbol of Sikh identity.
Takht Sri Keshgarh Sahib (Anandpur Sahib)

Takht Sri Keshgarh Sahib is one of Sikhism’s five sacred Takhts and marks the place where Guru Gobind Singh Ji founded the Khalsa Panth on Baisakhi in 1699. The Takht stands majestically overlooking the Shivalik foothills, its white marble domes gleaming against the skyline. Inside, the sanctum houses sacred relics — including weapons used by Guru Gobind Singh Ji such as the Khanda, Katar, and Chakkar, symbols of spiritual and temporal power.

The temple complex exudes serenity and strength, especially during Baisakhi, when thousands of devotees gather to commemorate the birth of the Khalsa. The nearby Virasat-e-Khalsa Museum beautifully narrates Sikh history and is a must-visit for travelers.
