Located near the Khanderao Market, the Gurudwara Nanakwadi Sahib was built almost five centuries ago. It commemorates the place where Guru Nanak once stayed for some time.
It was here that the first Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak Devji & his companion Shri Mardanaji stopped & spent time in 1515-1517 during his preaching tour of Western India. He came here from Bharuch and after staying here for sometime he then left for Rajasthan.
Believed to be made in 1517, the Gurudwara area is a house to a small well. It is believed that Guru Nanak Devji bathed from the water of this well. Ever since its establishment daily prayers are offered here without fail.

Started here as just a small room the Gurudwara has expanded over the years and has become the structure that we now see. It is held in high regard by the people of the city and has been the center of faith for more than 500 years and continues to be so.
