About Gurudwara Goindwal & Baoli Sahib Amritsar
The Baoli, also known as 'Baoli sahib,' is considered a sacred site for Sikhs and is believed to have been built in the 16th century by Guru Amar Das, the third Sikh Guru. It is considered a sacred site for Sikhs and a pilgrimage place for many.
The well is octagonal, with 84 steps leading down to the water level, and is built of brick and lime mortar. It is about 20 meters deep, and the water level remains constant throughout the year, regardless of weather conditions.
Guests enter the space through a pointed archway and are greeted by ten guru portraits and walls covered in multicoloured floral patterns. The life of Guru Amar Das is visually represented in the frescoes on the walls.
A gold-plated pinnacle and elaborately decorated domes all around the lotus-shaped dome that covers the historic well give it the appearance of a Gurudwara.
It has become customary for tourists to recite "Japji", hoping that doing so will free them from the cycle of life.
The site also has a Gurdwara (Sikh temple) adjacent to the well, dedicated to Guru Amar Das. The Gurdwara has a large courtyard where devotees gather to offer prayers and listen to Gurbani.
