Takhat Sachkhand Sri Hazur Abchalnagar
Sahib
(Nanded, Maharashtra)
Takhat Sachkhand Sri Hazur Abchalnagar Sahib
is the principal shrine at
about half a Kilometer from the left bank of the river Godavari, Nanded,
Maharashtra. It marks the site where the Guru had his camp in 1708 A.D. after the departure of the emperor Bahadur Shah. The tenth Guru held his court and congregation here. It is the site of his own tent where he was convalescing after he was attacked by
assassins. It is the place from where the tenth Guru rose to heaven along
with his horse Dilbag.
In 1708 being prescient of the end of his earthly role, the Guru had despatched Banda Singh with five of his Sikhs to Punjab and Mata Sahib Devan under a separate escort to Delhi before the stabbing incident. He told the rest of his retinue to retire to their homes if they so wished, but he bade one Bhai Santokh Singh to stay on here and keep Guru ka langar going. many others also chose to remain. Together they built a room over the platform where the used to sit while holding his court and installed Guru Granth Sahib on it. They called it Takhat Sahib. Guru Gobind Singh, while conferring Guruship on the holy Book, had himself named Nanded as Abchalnagar
(means steadfast city) after the first word of a hymn read at random on the occasion. Sachkhand
(means region of Truth) had been used by Guru Nanak Dev to mean the abode of God.
The present building of the Takhat Sahib was got constructed by Maharaja Ranjit Singh with money, artisans and labour sent from Punjab during early 1830s.
The complex of the Takhat Sahib is spread over several hectares. Besides the Takhat Sahib proper it also includes two other shrines, Bunga Mai Bhago ji comprising a large room where Guru Granth Sahib is seated and some historical weapons
like steel quoits, a broad sword, a steel bow and an arrow, a gilded dagger-sized sword, a few swords and a
mace are at display, and Angitha Bhai Daya Singh and Dharam Singh. These two survivors of the battle of
Chamkaur, who were among the Panj Piare.
