Gurdwara Guru Nanak Dwaar is India’s first bamboo-built Gurdwara Sahib set in the majestic historical surroundings of Pali hills. This rugged, natural landscape provides the perfect environment for spiritual upliftment and healing. The Gurdwara includes natural beautification, a planned Sikh training centre for Granthis, Gianis and Ragis to become jewels of knowledge, free Langar, open-air conference halls, function rooms and annual Smagam celebrations throughout the year. The Gurdwara Sahib aim to spread the universality of Guru Nanak Dev Jee’s blessings and teachings.
Following the centuries-old traditions of Takhat Sachkhand Sri Hazur Sahib (Nanded), Takhat Sri Patna Sahib (Bihar) and Various Nihang Chhaunis, Bamboo Gurdwara Sahib does Parkash of both Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and Sri Dasam Granth Sahib Ji, presenting a wonderful example of sustainable architecture and tradition in the modern world.
While the Bamboo Gurdwara Sahib in Raigad is very popular for its picturesque greenery, another reason for it's popularity is it's annual Pali Jodh Mela including the very special Mahaan Akhand Hazuri Darbar, which started in January 2024, with the blessings of Sant Baba Kulwant Singh Ji (Sri Hazur Sahib, Nanded). In this one-of-a-kind Smagam, a Jatha of 40 Singhs from Hazur Sahib comes to do Akhand Paths of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Sri Dasam Granth Sahib Ji, Sri Sarab Loh Granth Sahib Ji, Sri Japji Sahib Ji and Sri Jaap Sahib Ji along with many other activities including annual Amrit Sanchar Smagam
Nihal Kirtani Jatha is the Hazuri Kirtani Jatha at Bamboo Gurdwara Sahib. They have been instrumental in promoting the site through their kirtan performances. Since the Bamboo Gurdwara follows the tradition of dual Parkash (both Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and Sri Dasam Granth Ji), it aligns with the Jatha's spiritual philosophy and the Maryada they propagate.
Nihaal Kirtani Jatha, led by Bhai Bachittar Singh Nihal (UK), is a devotional collective dedicated to spreading the message of Gurbani through soulful Kirtan and the traditional use of Tanti Saaz (classical stringed instruments). Their mission is to inspire younger generations to remain connected with Sikhi, Seva, and the Rehat Maryada (code of conduct) of the Panth, by performing sacred hymns from both Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and Sri Dasam Granth Sahib Ji. Whether performing at a Takhat Sahib or a local Gurdwara, the Jatha emphasises a deep sense of love and devotion. The Jatha has been doing international prachar via Gurbani Kirtan, Raag workshops and youth Sikhi camps.
