Khadur Sahib on the Beas was the seat of Guru Angad Dev Ji for the thirteen years of his guruship. Gurmukhi took its settled form here. The compositions of Guru Nanak Dev Ji were collected here. Mata Khivi Ji ran the langar here.
Guru Amar Das Ji served here for eleven years before he became Guru, carrying water from the Beas every morning for the Guru's bath, in his sixties and seventies.
Guru Angad Dev Ji also began the practice of physical training, wrestling grounds for the young men of the sangat, which is the earliest thread of the Sikh martial tradition.
Six gurdwaras in the town mark different episodes. Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Angeetha Sahib is the principal one.
Everything that made the Sikh community an institution rather than a following happened in a small town on the Beas in thirteen years, and it is far less visited than places where battles were fought.
Guru Angad Dev Ji lived and taught here. It is where Gurmukhi was given the form it now has and where the langar and the akhara were established as institutions.
Guru Amar Das Ji served at Khadur for years before his succession and before Goindwal. Three Gurus are associated with the town.
It is a small town in Tarn Taran district now with a group of gurdwaras, and a large environmental and tree planting programme is run from it.
