Lakhi Jungle


Lakhi Jungle is a village in the district of Bathinda in Punjab, India. It is situated 15 km from the city of Bathinda, on the way to Muktsar. In the 17th century, the Sikhs used the surrounding jungle as a hideout from persecution by the Mughal Empire and the Duranni Empire. The jungle itself has mostly been deforested. The ninth Sikh Guru, Guru Teg Bahadur and tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh visited this place. The historic Gurdwara Lakhi Jungle Sahib is located on the outskirts of the village.
