Anandpur Sahib • Hola Mohalla • Sikh Heritage • Nihang Warriors • Sutlej River
Nestled in the lower Himalayan foothills along the Sutlej River, Anandpur Sahib is one of the most important pilgrimage destinations in Sikhism. Founded by Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji in 1665, the town is closely associated with Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the formation of the Khalsa in 1699.
The town is home to several historic gurdwaras and heritage sites, including Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib, one of the five Takhts of Sikhism. Anandpur Sahib also houses Virasat-e-Khalsa, a major museum dedicated to Sikh history and culture.
Hola Mohalla is one of the most spectacular festivals celebrated at Anandpur Sahib. Traditionally associated with the martial preparedness of the Khalsa, the festival brings together pilgrims, visitors and Sikh communities from across India and around the world.
The celebrations feature impressive displays of martial arts, traditional weapons, horse riding and demonstrations by Nihang warriors. Colourful processions, religious gatherings and traditional sporting activities create a vibrant atmosphere throughout Anandpur Sahib.
During Hola Mohalla, visitors can experience the warmth and hospitality of Sikh traditions. All-night religious gatherings and traditional musical performances form an important part of the celebrations.
Another defining experience is Langar, the community kitchen where free vegetarian meals are served to everyone regardless of background. Visitors can observe or participate in this enduring tradition of community service, equality and hospitality. Gurdwara Anandgarh Sahib, for example, continues to offer visitors the opportunity to experience Gurbani and community langar.
Aagman India presents a comfortable luxury tented accommodation experience during Hola Mohalla, set amidst natural surroundings near the Sutlej River.
The camp provides an opportunity to combine the spiritual and cultural atmosphere of Anandpur Sahib with the comfort of a private tented stay. Guests can enjoy the festival during the day and return to a peaceful camp environment in the evening.
