Gurdwara Sher Shikar

Gurdwara Sher Shikar, (Gurdwara of the Tiger Hunt) is situated in Machkund, in Dhaulpur, Rajasthan. This Gurdwara is connected to the sixth Guru, Shri Guru Hargobind's visit and his part in the fabled hunt. While travelling towards
Gwalior, with Emperor Jahangir Guru Hargobind arrived at Machkund on 4th march, 1612 and stayed in Bhamtipura village. The head of that area informed Jahangir of a deadly lion stalking the local villagers and asked the Emperor to save them from the lion. (The story is told by some with a Tiger and by others as a Lion. Shere can be taken for either animal in Persian or Panjabi.)
