ਗੁਰਦੁਆਰਾ ਦੇਗਸਰ ਸਾਹਿਬ (ਕਟਾਣਾ)

Gurudwara Degsar Sahib, also known as Katana Sahib, is a historically significant Sikh shrine located in the village of Katana, near Sahnewal in the Ludhiana District of Punjab, India. Situated along the scenic Sirhind Canal in close proximity to the Grand Trunk (GT) Road, this revered gurdwara holds deep religious importance owing to its association with two of the most venerated Gurus in Sikh history — Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji (the Sixth Guru) and Guru Gobind Singh Ji (the Tenth Guru). The site lies approximately 25 kilometres from Ludhiana city and about 5 kilometres from Doraha, making it readily accessible to pilgrims travelling across the Malwa region of Punjab and beyond. The name 'Degsar' is particularly evocative and spiritually charged: 'deg' refers to the large iron cauldron in which langar (the community meal) is prepared and distributed, and 'sar' denotes a place of culmination or divine blessing. According to Sikh oral tradition and historical accounts, following the harrowing ordeal at Machhiwara in 1705, Guru Gobind Singh Ji passed through the village of Katana and partook of his first proper meal since the Battle of Chamkaur Sahib. This sacred act of communal nourishment is believed to have given the site its name — Degsar — the place where the deg of seva (selfless service) was spiritually renewed after immense suffering and sacrifice. As an active gurdwara, Degsar Sahib fulfills all traditional functions of a Sikh place of worship: the uninterrupted recitation of Gurbani (sacred scripture from the Guru Granth Sahib Ji), the operation of a free langar kitchen serving all visitors without distinction of caste, creed, or religion, and the hosting of kirtan (devotional music), katha (religious discourse), and congregational ardas (collective prayer). The gurdwara observes all major Sikh occasions including Gurpurabs (anniversary commemorations of the Sikh Gurus), Baisakhi, and Sangrand (the first day of each month in the Nanakshahi Punjabi calendar). The complex is maintained by a local gurdwara management committee that oversees daily operations, langar services, and the upkeep of the premises. Its tranquil setting along the canal, surrounded by the agricultural heartland of the Malwa belt, lends the complex an atmosphere of quiet spiritual serenity. The gurdwara draws pilgrims from across Punjab, especially on Gurpurabs associated with Guru Gobind Singh Ji, whose personal and deeply human connection to this site makes it an enduringly moving place of pilgrimage. Visitors come not only to offer prayers but also to absorb the living legacy of the Gurus whose footsteps sanctified this ground centuries ago.
