Gurdawara Bair Sahib, also called Baba Beri or Baba Bair, or Gurdwara Babe Di Ber, is situated in Sialkot, Pakistan.

History

It was the place where Baba Guru Nanak stayed and met Hamza Ghaus, a famous saint of Sialkot.[1] The berry tree under which Guru Nanak stayed is still present. The gurdwara was built by Natha Singh[2] and it includes a garden, a pool and residential rooms. The gurdwara was damaged in the wake of the Babari Masjid dispute. There used to be a very high temple which was razed to the ground when it was demolished by an unruly mob.

The gurdwara was renovated during the 2010s and opened for pilgrims.[2] Access to the gurdwara to Indian Sikh pilgrims was restored in November 2012.[3]
