CHAHAL

CHAHAL, 15 km southeast of LAHORE, was the ancestral village of Mata Tripta, mother of GURU NANAK. This was the birthplace of Bibi Nanaki, Guru Nanak`s sister. Guru Nanak visited the village on several occasions. Gurdwara Dera Chahal, which marked the house of the Guru`s maternal grandfather, Rama, was under the management of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, but had to be abandoned at the time of the partition of the Punjab in 1947.
