Introduction

Listed in some reconstructions of the eastern journey into Bengal.

The Journey

Sylhet’s inclusion is traditional / later reconstruction. Historically disputed detail is not forced into a fake day-by-day route.

The Sakhi

No unique sakhi is invented for Sylhet in this database.

Historical Context

Approximate period: Traditionally placed in the Udasis of Guru Nanak Dev Ji (often dated by later writers to the late 15th and early 16th centuries). Exact years are not established.

Chronology uncertain / traditional sequence only.

Sikh Historical Tradition

Later Sikh tradition strongly associates this place with Guru Nanak Dev Ji, but the evidence for a specific visit is less certain.

Janamsakhi recensions and later Sikh memory are not treated here as interchangeable with independently proven itinerary. Where evidence is thinner, the status label says so.
