The name of this gurudwara is Nanak Piyau Gurdwara. Now you must be wondering why the name of this gurudwara is Nanak Piyau?
When Guru Nanak came to Delhi for the first time, he stayed at this place. Today this place is known as GT Karnal Road. It is said at that time that drinking water in this area was not destined. Saline water came out of the ground, due to which people were getting upset. The health of the children was deteriorating. Then Guru Nanak Sahib, with his power, with his vision, extracted sweet water from the ground. After which all the people living here drank water here.
After that, the diseases they were getting were also eradicated. This chain is going on continuously even after 500 years. Even today, sweet water comes out of the well. For this reason, this gurudwara was named Nanak Piyau Gurdwara. People here believe that people from all over the country come here and go after drinking this water, after which all their troubles and all diseases end.
