Gurdawara Beri Sahib also called as Baba Beri or Baba Bair is situated in Sialkot, Pakistan. It was the place where Baba Guru Nanak [founder of Sikhism] stayed and met Hazrat Hamza Ghaus - a famous saint of Sialkot. The Bair tree under which Guru Nanak had stayed is still present. The Gurdawara was build by Natha Singh. A big well was also constructed by him inside this Gurdwara and many Persian wheels worked in it. A beautiful tank was also there. It also includes a garden, a pool and residential rooms. The Gurdawara was damaged in the wake of the Babari Masjid dispute. There used to be a very high temple which was razed to ground when it was demolished by an unruly mob.
