Guru Nanak was married
here to Bibi Sulakhani. He was engaged to the daughter of Mul Chand Chauna who along with
the Brahmin priests insisted on a traditional Hindu marriage while Guru Nanak wanted a
simple marriage. Guru Nanak was sitting besides a crooked mud wall (kandh) discussing the
marriage plans with the Brahmin clergy. It was planned to push the wall on top of the Guru
but Guru Nanak was warned of the plan by an old woman. Guru Nanak just smiled and said
"This wall will not fall for centuries. The will of God shall prevail." The wall
is still preserved within the Gurdwara and a celebration is held here every year on the
anniversary of Guru Nanak's marriage.
