At first look Nanded resembles some other city in the locale of Marathwada, with its trademark limit streets, a scanty green cover, the Godai waterway on one side and fast industrialisation on the other. Nonetheless, this place holds a noteworthy position in the records of Indian history. A few lines, for example, the Nandas, Mauryas and Satavahans have ruled the territory and the tenth Sikh master, Guru Gobind Singh himself strolled the roads of Nanded and spent his last days here.
Master Nanak Dev, the main Sikh master, is likewise accepted to have passed through Nanded on one of his visits. What's more, therefore, Nanded turned into a vital goal for Sikh explorers from the nation over. The city is home to the Hazur Sahib Gurudwara, the second holiest place for Sikhs, next just to the Harmandir Sahib Gurudwara the much-venerated Golden Temple in Amritsar, Punjab.
