Option 2 : Guru Amar Das - Goindwal

Guru Amar Das established the first pilgrim center for the Sikhs, symbolized by the construction of a well with 84 steps to reach the water for bathing, at Goindwal.

  • Guru Amar Das was the third of the ten gurus of Sikhism.
  • He was the contemporary of Akbar.
  • He established his Gaddi at Goindwal also known as Goindwal Sahib which is located on the banks of the river Beas in the Taran Taran district in the Majha region of Punjab state in India.
  • It became an important center for the Sikh religion in the 16th century during the time of the Guru Amar Das Ji.
  • With a view of providing a place where the Sikhs could have a holy dip while visiting Goindwal, Guru Amar Das got a baoli (a deep open water reservoir) dug.
  • As Hindus believed in reincarnation in 84 hundred thousand species, he had the well dug with exactly 84 steps.
  • To symbolise that God could be reached through his remembrance rather than just a cycle of reincarnations, he declared that whoever would descend the 84 steps for a bath while reciting the Japji Sahib of Guru Nanak at each step would be freed from the cycles of births and deaths.
  • Later, it was named Baoli Sahib and became an important sacred place for the Sikhs.
  • Given below is the picture of the steps of Baoli Sahib:
Hence, the correct answer is Guru Amar Das - Goindwal.
