GURUDWARA SHRI THAM JI SAHIB is situated in the Kartapur City of Jalandhar Distt. This place was presented to the 5th GURU SAHIB by King Akbar. While starting the foundation of this town, GURU SAHIB instead of installing a small pillar went ahead & installed a big Taahli (The Indian rosewood tree) pillar to start the foundation of this town and named this pillar as " Dukhan Da Thaman " by giving it various boons. A very beautiful platform was also constructed around this pillar to facilitate the seating arrangement for the followers. This holy pillar stood firm for 162 years. Later cruel Subedaar from Jalandhar named Naasar Ali, attacked Kartarpur and burnt this holy pillar and also insulted other historical things. Baba Vadbhag Ji, with the advice of Adina Begh, requested the Singhs to take revenge of this insult. With the acceptance of this request, during the spring season of the next year, Khalsa Ji attacked Jalandhar town. There was a fierce battle that took place and the Turkish soldiers lost the battle. Naasar Ali began to run from the battle field but Sardar Khyala Singh Soorma rounded him & threw him to ground, caught him & presented him in front of the Singh Sardars. The Singh Sardars ordered that the way this scoundrel had burnt the holy pillar, similarly he should be burnt alive. So the Khalsa took a revenge of the destruction done to Kartarpur by burning alive the cruel Nasir Khan. With the establishment of Khalsa rule, Maharaja Ranjit Singh got this 7 storey building built from his royal treasury & named this place on the name of holly pillar as GURDWARA SRI THAMM JI SAHIB.
