Following a 79-year closure that began with the Partition of the Indian subcontinent in 1947, the historic Gurdwara Chhevin Patshahi Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib in Lahore has officially reopened its doors for religious worship. The shrine's reopening was commemorated with a ceremony conducted in accordance with traditional Sikh religious rituals, bringing together members of the local Sikh community to mark the milestone. Situated on Temple Road in Lahore, the historic shrine holds profound spiritual significance as it is directly linked to the visit of Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib (1595–1644), the sixth Sikh Guru, to the city. The reopening ceremony was attended by prominent dignitaries, including Ramesh Singh Arora, Minister for Minority Affairs in Pakistan's Punjab province and President of the Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (PSGPC), alongside Nasir Mushtaq, Secretary of the Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB), and other key government officials. Addressing the gathering, Ramesh Singh Arora announced that extensive restoration work on the historic site has been completed, formally making it accessible once again for Sikh devotees to offer their prayers. He added that the initiative forms part of a broader nation-wide effort to repair and renovate over 50 gurdwaras to safeguard Sikh religious heritage and facilitate pilgrims.Historical accounts record that Guru Hargobind Sahib accepted an invitation from the local Sikh congregation (sangat) during his visit to Lahore and stayed for three days at the residence of a devoted follower, Bhai Jeevan. Following the Guru's visit, Bhai Jeevan transformed his residence into a place of worship.The site is also associated with Bhai Bidhi Chand Ji, who stayed at the location during two separate visits to Lahore to retrieve two horses—Dilbagh and Gulbagh—that had been seized by the local Mughal governor. The horses had originally been brought by devotees as a reverent offering intended for Guru Hargobind Sahib.
