Contents [hide] 1\tHistory 2\tExternal Links 3\tGallery 4\tReferences History When Guru Ram Das, had not yet ascended to the gaddi, he came here to find out a place for excavation of the holy tank on instructions from Guru Amar Das. When Guru Ram Das was getting the place dug, he found a Yogi, meditating. After sometime the Yogi opened his eyes and told Guru Ram Das that he had been meditating here for a long time, waiting for a Guru to give him salvation. He disclosed his name as Santakha and then breathed his last. The tank was then named as Santokhsar. Guru Arjan completed the unfinished work of excavation of tanks - Santokhsar and Amritsar. Baba Buddha was appointed to supervise the work of construction. Santokhsar was completed in 1587-89.
We visited here with our guide, now friend, Tarundeep Ji as part of Roobaroo walks Essential Amritsar tour. This was a fantastic gurudwara to see the classic style of simplicity and function that most of the Sikhs and the people who rely on the gurudwaras for support. The layout and architecture makes this a great place to learn the purpose and the meaning of the gurudwara. You will see people actively maintaining the place through their personal volunteering. If more people cared the way these people do, the world would be a better place.
