Gurdwara Janam Asthan in Nankana Sahib marks the place where Guru Nanak Dev Ji was born in 1469, in the village then called Rai Bhoi di Talwandi. It is one of the holiest places in Sikhi, and every year thousands of pilgrims from India and around the world come here for Guru Nanak’s Gurpurab. The present building dates from the time of Maharaja Ranjit Singh.
