The legend about this photo is that when Guru Nanak Dev Ji (traveler) visited the place and asked for Langar (food offering) from the village. They get all the raw materials but no fire for cooking. Guru Nanak Dev Ji told his disciples to lift a stone. To everyone’s surprise, there was boiling hot water under the stone – good enough to cook food in it. However, the food kept getting drowned in the hot water pond and the disciples looked at the Guru. Guru taught them a lesson in gratitude when he asked them to offer the food to God if they want to have it. And yes, as soon as it was pledged to be offered to God, food started floating.

Now It is on every Sikh devotee’s wishlist to visit Gurudwara Manikaran Sahib at least once in a lifetime.
