 Sikh Sharine - Takht Shri Damdama Sahib (Talwandi Saboo)

Takht Sri Damdama Sahib is one of the five Takhts or seats of temporal authority of Sikhism. It is located in the town of Talwandi Sabo in the state of Punjab, India. It was established by Shri Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh guru, in 1706.

Takht Sri Damdama Sahib is also known as the "Guru Ki Kashi" because it was here that Shri Guru Gobind Singh spent nearly a year compiling and preparing the final version of the Sikh holy scripture, the Shri Guru Granth Sahib. The Shri Guru Granth Sahib is considered the eternal guru of the Sikhs and is revered by millions of people around the world.

The Takht Sri Damdama Sahib is also famous for its historical significance as it was the site of the famous battle of Muktsar in 1705. The battle was fought between Shri Guru Gobind Singh's forces and the Mughal army and is commemorated by the annual Muktsar Maghi Mela festival.

Takht Sri Damdama Sahib is a significant pilgrimage site for Sikhs and attracts thousands of visitors every year. The complex includes the main Gurdwara, a museum, a library, and several other buildings. The Gurdwara is adorned with beautiful frescoes and murals depicting Sikh history and mythology.
