Khuralgarh Sahib (Punjabi: ਖੁਰਾਲਗੜ ਸਾਹਿਬ) is one of the most prominent historical place of Ravidasi communities like Ad-Dharmi, Chamar, Ramdasia Sikhs and Mochis. It is situated at village Kharali, Garhshanker, Hoshiarpur district.[1] Khuralgarh Sahib is also called Charan Choh Ganga Sri Guru Ravidas Ji[2] as this place was visited by Sri Guru Ravidas[3][4]
According to the legends, Guru Ravidass visited Khuralgarh after being persuaded by his disciple Meera Bai to uplift the weaker section of society.[5]
Minar-e-Begampura is 151 feet high hallmark of Guru Ravidass Memorial at Shri Khuralgarh Sahib in Khuralgarh village.[6] This memorial is said to have a spacious congregation hall having the capacity to accommodate 10000 pilgrims.[7] Also there is state-of-the art auditorium equipped with all the modern audio-visual aids to showcase the life works of Guru Ravidass and would accommodate nearly 500 pilgrims during any function or event.[8] Guru Ravidass Memorial is built at 14.4 acre of land and is expected to be completed by November 2016.[9][10]
