Gurudwara Keshgarh Sahib, Anandpur 2
"The holy City of Bliss (Anandpur Sahib) is one of the most important sacred places of the Sikhs. The historical significance of Anandpur Sahib is that it is second only to Amritsar, the city of Golden Temple. Anandpur Sahib was founded in 1664 by the ninth Guru, Sri Guru Teg Bahadur ji, near the ruins of an ancient place, Makhowal. The Guru purchased the site from the ruler of Bilaspur.
Gurudwara Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib In 1699, on Baisakhi, Guru Nanak's mission was fulfilled by the 10th Guru, Sahib Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, when, through baptism of the double-edged-sword the Sikh was consummated as the Khalsa-Saint Soldier- in direct commune with the Guru and God. Still more astonishing is the fact that the Guru had got himself baptised by the Panj-Pyaras, the five beloved ones, who had offered him their heads to uphold Dharma - the righteous cause.
The Takht Sahib proper is a square hall with a balcony in front overlooking a spacious courtyard on a lower level. In the middle of the inner domed room are placed some weapons preserved as sacred relics."
