Patna is a great place of pilgrimage for the Sikhs. It is the birth-place of Guru Govind Singh, the tenth Guru. Patna has a number of Sikh shrines, besides the famous Harmandir commemorating the birth-place of Guru Govind Singh. It is in a lane named Harmandirki Gali, opposite the Patna City Post Office and within the jurisdiction of the Chank thana. The area was known as the Haveli of Salus Rai Johari in the 17th Century. It is said that Sri Nanak Deva, the first Guru of the Sikhs, had come to Patna and stayed at this place for several months.
