Alamgir Gurdwara is situated only 11 kilometers south of Ludhiana along the Ludhiana-Malerkotla highway. It is constructed in the memory of Guru Gobind Singh ji who had spent a few days to refresh himself of the tedium of an unrelenting fight against the Machiavellian enemy.
The Guru in those times arrived here in the robes of Pir of Uchch. Bhai Daya Singh, Dharam Singh and Man Singh and two Afgan brothers Ghani Khan and Nabi Khan carried him in a palanquin. The Guru discarded the palanquin at Alamgir and took a horse which was presented to him by Bhai Naudha, a resident of Alamgir. Gurdwara Manji Sahib was then later constructed where the Guru had stayed. The shrine is now called Gurdwara Manji Sahib Alamgir which is the most frequently visited Gurdwara in Ludhiana district.
By Air the Gurudwara is well connected with the remaining part of India by regular flights via Chandigarh and Amritsar airports. Regular flights are operated by Indian airlines from Chandigarh to Delhi, Lucknow, Leh and Amritsar.
By Railways- it is also well connected to the state of Punjab with the rest of India. Five major railway hubs in Punjab are Chandigarh, Amritsar, Ludhiana, Pathankot, and Jalandhar.
By Road the Gurdwara can be reached by State Highways which link the state capital with the other major cities of India. National Highway 1 or the Grand Trunk Road connects most of north and east India with the state of Punjab.
