Board at Gurudwara Bandara Sahib |

Guru Nanak Dev ji came here during his Third
Udasi or travel in 1514 A.D. At that time the Siddhas (or yogis) who
inhabited this place demanded a variety of foods from Guru ji.(At
that time this place was known as Gorakhmata which became Nanak Matta
after the name of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji )
On the instructions of Guru Sahib, Bhai Mardana
climbed up a banyan tree and vigorously shook its branches. To the
amazement of the yogis, a variety of foods fell down from the branches of
the tree and satisfied the hunger of the yogis and Bhai Mardana.
At the place where this event happened a Gurudwara
was constructed thereafter known as Gurudwara Sri Bhandara Sahib Ji.
This Gurudwara is nearly 400 Mtrs from the
Main Gurudwara in Nanak Matta Sahib.
There are also some other different
Gurudwaras in Nanakmatta Sahib.
( Bhandara - meaning free food for all who come to the
place and demand it)
