Gurudwaras from Nanded :
 
 Gurudwara Sachkhand Shri Hazur Sahib

A Gurudwara was built  between 1832 and 1837, under instructions from Maharaja Ranjit Singh. It is called "Sachkhand Sri Hazur Abchal Nagar Sahib". It's' interior is artistically ornamented in the style of Harmandir Sahib, Amritsar. The walls of the inner room called Angitha Sahib have been covered with golden plates On the first floor, recitations from Sri Guru Granth Sahib, go on day and night. The dome is polished and on the pinnacle is the kalash made of gold plated copper.

Takhat Sachkhand Sri Hazur Abchalnagar Sahib is the principal shrine at Nanded. It marks the site where the Guru had his camp in 1708 A.D. after the departure of the emperor Bahadur Shah. The tenth Guru held his court and congregation here. It is the site of his own tent where he was convalescing after he was attacked by assasins. It is the place from where the tenth Guru rose to heaven alongwith his horse Dilbag.

 Gurudwara Banda Ghat Sahib

Gurudwara Banda Ghat Sahib is situated about 400 mtrs., upstream from Nagina Ghat. This is where Madho Das, a hot headed and headstrong Bairagi Sadhu had his abode. Guru Gobind Singh had heard about him from Mahant Jait Ram of Singh Dadu Dwara. His original name was Lachhman Das. He was native of Rajauri in Jammu and Kashmir. A Rajput by birth he had been trained in the martial arts and had been fond of hunting. A chance killing of a pregnant doe at his hands had transformed him into a remorseful sinner in search of redemption. Having acquired some occult powers through austerities and single minded devotion to learning of such arts, he had become an arrogant recluse impatient with lesser mortals.

 
 Gurudwara Shikar Ghat Sahib

Gurudwara Shikar Ghat Sahib is a beautiful piece of architecture perched on a low hill near the bank of Godavari river, with high wooded hills in the background. Its distance from Sachkand Sri Hazur Sahib is about six kilometers. A bridge was constructed by kar-seva and built over the river Godavari.  A legend is associated with this shrine, too. It is said that Guru Gobind Singh ji came here following the chase (shikar) and killed a rabbit which in a former birth had been Bhai Mula, who belonged to Sialkot (now in Pakistan). He had once accompanied Guru Nanak Dev ji during his travels. Once when Guru Nanak Dev ji went to visit him, Mula avoided the Guru and hid himself for fear that the Guru might take him away on another long journey. Sensing this Guru Nanak Dev ji went away, but such is the travesty of fate that Mula died soon after of snakebite. His repentant soul had since been wandering in different sub-human bodies until, Guru Gobind Singh ji emancipated it by the touch of his arrow.

 Gurudwara Nagina Ghat Sahib

Gurudwara Nagina Ghat Sahib stands on the bank of Godavari river, about 400 mtrs., southwest of Sachkhand Sri Hazur Sahib. According to a folklore, a rich merchant went to Guru Gobind Singh ji while he was watching the river flow. Proud of his wealth, he presented a nagina (precious stone set in gold) to the Guru, who took it and casually threw it in the river. The merchant bore a look as if pitying the Guru that he did not understand the value of the nagina. Guru ji read his thoughts and bade him to take out his nagina from the river if that was so valuable. It is said that when the devotee entered into the river, to his surprise, the river bed was full of precious stones all around. Purged of his false pride, the merchant fell at the Guru's feet. The present building stands on a high plinth which comprises of a square hall in which Guru Granth Sahib ji is seated on a canopied palaki of white marble and a smaller square room topped by a dome on the first floor. Its construction was undertaken by Raja Gulab Singh Sethi of Delhi and was completed by his widow in 1968.

 Gurudwara Hira Ghat Sahib

Gurudwara Hira Ghat Sahib is about nine kilometers downstream from Nanded. A legend similar to the one associated with Gurudwara Nagina Ghat Sahib is also related to this shrine. Here it was the Emperor Bahadur Shah who presented to the Guru a Heera (Diamond) which the Guru flung into the river, and asked the offended Emperor to look into the river, where the latter saw heaps of diamonds. The Emperor was deeply impressed and he bowed to the Guru with humility. The Emperor realized that at Guru’s Darbar there was no shortage of any kind and the glittering wealth had no meaning.

 Gurudwara Sangat Sahib

Gurudwara Sangat Sahib is located about two miles from Takht Sachkhand Shri Hazur Sahib,on the banks of Godavari river in Nanded city. Here Guru Gobind Singh Ji first stayed on his arrival at Nanded from punjab.  Soldiers who had accompanied Guru ji from Punjab were demanding for their long-standing wages, so at this place Guru Ji distributed money to his and Bahadur Shah's Royal forces generously. There is a strong belief that the treasure found at Mal Tekdi was distributed here among the three hundred odd warriors accompanying the Guru. Each warrior got a shield full of valuables. This shield is still kept in this Gurudwara as a sacred relic.

 Gurudwara Mata Sahib Devaan Ji

This Gurudwara, managed by Nihang Singhs under the auspices of the Sachkand Gurudwara Board, is located about half a kilometer downstream from Gurdwara Hira Ghat where the Guruji had stayed.Mata Sahib Devaan Ji was a committed devotee of Guruji. She was accorded Mata Ji status. A langar is served throughout the day.

 

 Gurudwara Mal Tekdi Sahib
Gurudwara Mal Tekdi Sahib, dedicated to Guru Nanak Dev ji is about five kilometer from Sachkhand Sri Hazur Sahib and is linked to the Nanded-Akola road. Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji had visited this place during his journey to Sangla-Deep (known as Sri Lanka or Ceylon now-a-days) Guru Nanak Dev ji is said to have held religious courses with a Muslim reclause Lakkad Shah at this spot called ‘Maal Tilla’ or ‘Chakri Maal’. Lakkad Shah's grave is about 100 mtrs., away from the present Gurudwara. The money, which the Tenth Guru distributed at Gurudwara Sangat Sahib, was dug out from this place.
