Gurdwara Baba Atal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Many of the millions of pilgrims that visit the Harimandir Sahib every year do not realise that one of Amritsar’s finest architectural marvels and one of the Sikh religions most poignant places of worship is just a short walk from the famous Harimandir Sahib
Built some two centuries ago, the Baba Atal Gurdwara is a touching commemoration of the young life of Baba Atal Rai, the son of Guru Hargobind. Its nine storeys echo his nine years of life before his death in 1628.
Today, unfortunately, it is being steadily defaced, distorted and vulgarised just yards from the marble walkway of the Harimandir Sahib complex.
