Gurdwara Amb Sahib is a historic site in Mohali (Punjab), about 500 meters from Gurdwara Sant Mandal Angitha Sahib. This holy temple was built with the blessings of Guru Har Rai, the respected Sikh Guru. The Guru blessed his Gursikh here, and he felt satisfied as a consequence. “Amb” means mango in Punjabi.

Bhai Kuram, a lobana by caste and a Lambian villager, journeyed to Amritsar to see Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji. It was mango season, and the great Guru Arjun Dev Ji’s court was in place. The following were making offerings. Kabul followers arrived with ripe mangoes. Bhagat Kuram regretted having come from the country of mangoes but had forgotten to bring any to the Guru.

The mangoes were given among the worshippers as Parshad when the darbar ended that night. All of the followers retired to their deras. Bhai Kuram did not consume the mango served as parshad. The next morning, he awoke, took his bath, and carried the mango he had gotten as parshad to darbar, where he offered it.

“This mango was given to you as parshad, but you have offered it here,” Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji stated to Bhai Kuram ji. Bhai Kuram bowed before the Guru and replied, “Your Highness, I have come from the country of mangoes but did not bring any for the gift to You, so I kept this one for you.” Guru Ji told him to consume the fruit and promised that his offering would be taken one day. The Great Guru Sri Har Rai Ji arrived here from Kurukshetra on the first day of Poh (mid-December), honoring his father’s the previous Guru’s pledge, and inquired about his follower, learning that he was completely absorbed in meditation in the garden. Guru Ji approached him and ordered Bhai Kuram to keep his pledge of gifting him a mango. He gently informed Guru Ji that he couldn’t offer any fruit because mangoes were out of season. You cannot do everything you want.
