GURDWARA SRI TAHLI (SANTOKHSAR) SAHIB is situated in the Distt City Amritsar. Situated near Hall Gate. When (GURU) RAM DAS JI, came from Goindwal Sahib on instructions from SRI GURU AMAR DAS JI started excavating holy tank(Sarovar). Thus this Tank is the first Holy tank of Sikh History. When SRI GURU ARJAN DEV JI was getting the place dug, he found a Yogi, meditating. After sometime the Yogi opened his eyes and told SRI GURU ARJAN DEV JI that he had been meditating here for a long time, waiting for his GURU to give him salvation. He disclosed his name as Santakha. SRI GURU ARJAN DEV JI preached him and set free from cycle of life and death. The tank was then named as Santokhsar. SRI GURU ARJAN DEV JI completed the unfinished work of excavation of tanks - Santokhsar and Amritsar. BABA BUDDHA JI was appointed to supervise the work of construction. SRI GURU ARJAN DEV JI used to sit under Tahli Tree, hence the GURDWARA SAHIB is also known as GURDWARA SRI TAHLI SAHIB.
