About Sultanpur Lodhi

Sultanpur Lodhi is a historic city located in the Kapurthala district of Punjab, India. It sits on the banks of the seasonal Kali Bein rivulet and is situated approximately 35 km from Jalandhar and 20 km from Kapurthala. The city has a rich history stretching back several centuries and is today known primarily as one of the most important Sikh heritage cities in the world.

The city’s population is a mix of communities and faiths, and it has a quiet, unhurried character for most of the year — punctuated by large pilgrimages during Gurpurabs and other Sikh occasions, when thousands of pilgrims from across India and the world come to pay their respects at the sacred Gurudwaras.

Sultanpur Lodhi (sultanpurlodhi.org) is an independent informational guide and travel resource focused on helping pilgrims, tourists, NRIs, researchers, and general visitors learn about and plan their visit to Sultanpur Lodhi. We are not an official government website, Gurudwara committee publication, or religious authority.

Our goal is to provide respectful, accurate, and practically useful information about the city’s sacred sites, history, and visitor guidance — in English, Punjabi, and Hindi.
