History
The first practitioner of Sikhism, Guru Nanak, innovated Kartarpur in 1504 announcement on the right bank of the Ravi River. The name Kartarpur means" megacity of Creator or God", from Punjabi" ਕਰਤਾਰ"( Kartar) meaning' Creator' or' Lord of Creation' and" ਪੁਰ"( Pur) meaning' City'. Then all people, irrespective of their religion or estate, lived together, representing the first' Sikh village'. After his peregrination for about 20 times, Guru Nanak settled in Kartarpur along with his family. Following his death in 1539, Hindus and Muslims both claimed him as their own, and raised mausoleums in his memory with a common wall between them. The changing course of the Ravi River ultimately washed down the mausoleums. But Guru Nanak's son saved the charnel containing his ashes and reburied it on the left bank of the swash, where a new habitation was formed, representing the present day Dera Baba Nanak.( 1)( 2)( 3)( 4) After Nanak's end, the early Sikh community's headquarters was shifted from Kartarpur to the vill of Khadur by his successor, Guru Angad.( 5)
