Gurudwara Chheharta Sahib, 7 km west of Amritsar (31° 38'N, 74° 52'E), is named after a well that Guru Arjan (1563-1606) had sunk. The well was so wide, and the water supply so abundant, that six Persian wheels installed around the interior of its circufrence could operate simultaneously. Hence its name Chheharta, lit. having six (chhe) Persian wheels (hart or harta).
The well has now been covered, but its water is still pumped to feed the main tank of the Gurdwara. Now developed as an industrial township, Chheharta falls within the revenue limits of Vadali Guru, a village one km to the south, where Guru Arjan stayed during 1594-97

Peaceful environment. Another best place to observe the spiritual powers. History of this pilgrims very heart touching. And also don't worry about food when you are in GURUDWARA "ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ"
It's very calm and peaceful worship place. Related to Shri Guru Arjun Dev ji, The fifth Guru of sikhs. Feeling blessed after visiting this place. Here a well with six 'harts' ( A device wich brings water out from well). By which this place get it's name. very huge community kitchen hall and very tasty food.
This is a must see Gurdwara Sahib in Amritsar. One of my favourite place. Very quiet. It is really nice to visit.
Had a great and peaceful time there. Panchmi, Sankranti are best days to visit and offer prayers
