Sultanpur Lodhi, India
Punjab life & Kartarpur · HS Historically Supported
Town where Guru Nanak Dev Ji lived and worked before the Udasis. Sikh tradition also places the Bein river revelation here.
Sultanpur Lodhi is strongly associated with Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s adult life before the travels: employment in the local administration, family life, and the beginning of his public teaching. Historians generally accept a Sultanpur period even when they debate later itineraries.
According to Sikh tradition, Guru Nanak Dev Ji disappeared in the Bein river and returned with the proclamation “Na koi Hindu, na koi Musalman” — not as a slogan against communities, but as a teaching of one humanity before God. Treat the wording as traditional memory.
The Sultanpur tradition emphasises honest work, remembrance of Naam, and the emptiness of communal pride.
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.
Traditional sequence (not an exact dated timetable).
Sultanpur was a Lodi-period market town in the Beas–Sutlej tract. The Bein is a local stream associated with the shrine of Ber Sahib.
People associated: Bhai Mardana Ji (companion in later travels, according to tradition); Nawab Daulat Khan (traditional employer — details vary by source).
Strong historical evidence or substantial scholarly support that Guru Nanak Dev Ji was associated with this place.
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.
Gurdwara Ber Sahib
Ber Sahib is the principal shrine at Sultanpur Lodhi associated with Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Other Gurdwaras in the town commemorate related traditional episodes.
