Guru Ji blessed the King of Puri and the people with prosperity, joy, and well-being. During his visit, the King of Puri offered Guru Ji many acres of land, but Guru Ji\u2019s advice was to build a Dharamshala to provide a place for people from all over the country to stay and chant the Name of the Almighty.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Guru_Nanak_Dev_Jis_Vision_for_Puri_and_the_Lack_of_Sikh_Temples\"><\/span>Guru Nanak Dev Ji\u2019s Vision for Puri and the Lack of Sikh Temples<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Despite the king\u2019s generous offer, Guru Ji\u2019s vision was never fulfilled. Five hundred years later, no Sikh temple had been constructed in Puri. The locals from nearby towns attempted to build a Sikh temple but faced failure due to the absence of Sikh families in the region.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Baba_Shamsher_Singh_Jis_Visit_to_Puri_and_Decision_to_Build_the_Guru_Ghar\"><\/span>Baba Shamsher Singh Ji\u2019s Visit to Puri and Decision to Build the Guru Ghar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After the visit of Baba Shamsher Singh Ji Dilli Wale, he was deeply moved by the condition of Baoli Sahib. Upon hearing the stories and needs of the Saadh Sangat from Orissa and surrounding states, Baba Ji decided to stay in Puri and establish a beautiful Guru Ghar. Despite facing numerous challenges, Baba Ji remained committed to the idea of bringing Guru Ji\u2019s teachings to this neglected site.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Establishment_of_Gurdwara_Aarti_Sahib\"><\/span>Establishment of Gurdwara Aarti Sahib<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With Guru Ji\u2019s blessings and the collective effort of the Sangat, Baba Ji was able to purchase land in Balia Panda. Within just one year, Gurdwara Aarti Sahib was constructed. This holy site now stands as a beacon of devotion, remembering the third Pyara of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, Bhai Himmat Singh. The contributions from the Guru Nanak Nam Levan Sangat worldwide made this establishment possible.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Facilities_at_Gurdwara_Aarti_Sahib\"><\/span>The Facilities at Gurdwara Aarti Sahib<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Gurdwara Aarti Sahib is a four-story building with beautifully constructed rooms that are provided free of charge to the Sangat.
