Near the bus stand stands Gurudwara Singh Sabha, a white, two-storey Sikh shrine with domes and nishan sahib flags visible above the road. Inside, the hall is simple but peaceful: the Guru Granth Sahib rests on a palki under a canopy, kirtan is sung, and travellers of all backgrounds sit together for langar. For many Sikh pilgrims, Pushkar is not just about the lake and Brahma temple but also about remembering their Gurus’ journeys; the gurdwara provides accommodation and a spiritual “home base” in this largely Hindu town.
About this place
History & highlights
ikh tradition records that Guru Nanak Dev Ji visited Pushkar around 1509, and Guru Gobind Singh Ji came here in 1706 during his travels in Rajputana. The place associated with Guru Nanak’s stay was once known as Guru Nanak Dharmshala but later evolved into Gurudwara Singh Sabha, functioning as a branch of Sri Guru Singh Sabha Ajmer. A separate spot on the lake shore, earlier called Gobind Ghat (now Gandhi Ghat), commemorated Guru Gobind Singh’s stay and still bears an old slab inscribed in Gurmukhi, Devanagari, Persian and Roman scripts. Over the 20th century, local Sikh committees rebuilt and expanded the gurdwara building, creating today’s complex that anchors Sikh memory within the largely Vaishnava–Shaiva sacred geography of Pushkar.
