Geography & terrain

Tarn Taran lies in the Tarn Taran district of Punjab, 25 km from Amritsar and 55 km from Ludhiana — the gurudwara town of the region, its 1590-era Gurudwara Sri Tarn Taran Sahib, the sarovar and the fairs set on the Punjab plain.

History & culture

The town's story runs with the 1590 gurudwara era — the gurudwara town of the 1590-era founding and the 16th-century-era sarovar of the Sikh life, with the town's modern role as the pilgrimage of the Amritsar circuit and the home of the 1590-era gurudwara and the sarovar and the 2000s-era halls; the town's history of the 19th-century-era battles and the festival fairs, gives Tarn Taran its gurudwara character.
