Khadoor Sahib, also known as Khadoor Sahib, is a village in the Amritsar district in the State of Punjab.
Khadoor Sahib is an extremely important place for Sikhs as it has been sanctified by visits from 8 of the Sikh Gurus, more than any other location.
Sri Guru Nanak Sahib Ji is said to have visited Khadoor once to meet his Sikh, Bhai Jodha, a Khaira Jat. It was through Bhai Jodha's example that Bhai Lehna (later, Sri Guru Angad Sahib Ji) was led to seek Guru Nanak's precept.
Guru Angad's father, Baba Pheru, having left his ancestral village, Matte di Sarai (now known as Sarai Naga), when it was ransacked by the mughals and baloches.
Baba Pheru moved on from the temporary home at Harike and made Khadoor his home. Baba Pheru's sister Mai Bharai was already married in Khadoor; his son, Bhai Lehna, was married here in 1519.
After the anointment of Bhai Lehna as Sri Guru Angad Sahib Ji in 1539, he, following Guru Nanak's instructions, returned to Khadoor, which became the centre of the Sikh faith. Guru Angad lived in Khadoor Sahib until his death in 1552. It was at Khadoor Sahib that Amar Das served him as a Sikh and was in turn himself anointed Sri Guru Amar Das Ji.
There are 7 Historic Sikh Gurdwaras in Khadoor Sahib.
Gurdwara Sri Darbar Sahib Khadoor is also known as Gurdwara Sri Angeetha Sahib and is located within a high walled compound entered through an old two storeyed gateway. The Gurdwara comprises a square domed sanctum with a circumambulatory passage and a hall in the front. The sanctum marks the site where Guru Angad's body was cremated.
An old well, near the gateway, is called Bibi Amro Ji da khooh (or the Well of Bibi Amro) who was Guru Angad's daughter. Bibi Amro's singing inspired Baba Amar Das to seek spiritual solace at the feet of Guru Angad. When Bibi Amro had the well dug the water was saline. Guru Angad provided a wooden log and asked for it to be thrown into the well. Afterwards, the water became drinkable.
