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.
