Gurdwara Patti Sahib
Gurdwara Patti Sahib is situated where Guru Nanak had
his education in the school. It is also known as Gurdwara
Maulvi Patti Likhi. Patti means a wooden board on which
children learn to write alphabets with a pen made of a soft
stem (The board could be washed after the lesson and would
be given another coating of soft light clay before re-use) It
is at this place where young Guru Nanak learnt the various
different languages mainly Persian and Arabic which were
then used in the Punjab, each with its own distinct alphabets.
This sacred shrine lies midway between Gurdwara Janam
Asthan and Gurdwara Bal Lila along the road leading from
Janam Asthan to the railway station in Nankana Sahib. The
city had been renamed after the name of Guru Nanak.
