Sri Chand Darbar: A 500-Year-Old beacon of unity in sindh

Nestled in Fakir Jo Goth near Thatta, Sindh, the ancient Sri Chand Darbar stands as a living testament to the universal vision of Baba Sri Chand Ji—eldest son of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and spiritual icon of the Udasi tradition. For five centuries, this sacred space has defied religious divides, drawing Hindu, Muslim, and Sikh devotees into a rare harmony.

A Sanctuary Beyond Boundaries

  • Shared Scriptures: The Darbar uniquely reveres both Guru Granth Sahib Ji and Bhagavad Gita, embodying Baba Sri Chand Ji’s message of “Ek Onkar” (One Supreme Reality).
  • The Eternal Dhuni: The sacred fire (Dhuni) lit by Baba Ji himself still burns today, symbolizing enduring wisdom and divine presence.
  • Interfaith Legacy: Local Muslims revere the site as deeply as Sikhs and Hindus, proving spirituality transcends labels.

A Fearless Legacy Against Tyranny

In the 16th century, when Mirza Baqi Beg (a notorious ruler of the Tarkhan dynasty) terrorized Thatta, Baba Sri Chand Ji openly condemned his crimes. His courage and compassion left an indelible mark, inspiring the Darbar’s founding at the very spot where he ignited the Dhuni.

From Fakir Jo Goth to Sadh Bole

  • Baba Kundan Ji, another Udasi saint, further propagated Baba Sri Chand Ji’s teachings here before establishing Sadh Bole as a spiritual hub.
  • Annual Fair: Thousands gather to celebrate shared heritage, singing hymns, offering prayers, and honoring the Udasi tradition of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” (The World Is One Family).

Why This Darbar Matters Today

In an era of division, Sri Chand Darbar shines as a rare oasis of unity:

  • Muslim caretakers lovingly maintain the Dhuni alongside Sikh and Hindu devotees.
  • No walls, no barriers—only the warmth of the sacred fire and the echoes of “Sat Nam”.
  • A living rebuke to extremism, proving Sindh’s soil has always nurtured love over hatred.

Visit. Witness. Be Transformed.
“Here, the Dhuni burns—not just with wood, but with the undying light of Truth.”
