In which of the following cities is Guru Nanak Dev believed to have attained enlightenment?
 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Sultanpur Lodhi.

 

Guru Nanak Dev is believed to have attained enlightenment in the city of Sultanpur Lodhi, located in the Kapurthala district of Punjab. It was during his stay there, while working at a modikhana (grain store), that he is said to have disappeared into the Bein River and re-emerged after three days, proclaiming the oneness of God. This event marked the beginning of his spiritual journey and the foundation of Sikhism, making Sultanpur Lodhi a significant pilgrimage site for Sikhs.
