The book is aimed at visitors to Sikh shrines in Pakistan . With the relaxation of the visa requirements for Indian citizens in 2005, increasing numbers of Sikh visitors are travelling to Pakistan.[1] Guru Nanak, the founder of the Sikh religion was born on the outskirts of Lahore,[2] and the book contains illustrations of various sacred places in Pakistan connected with the Guru from his birth to death.[3] The events of the first Guru's life are now represented by sacred Gurdwaras, which are documented in this book.[4]

Thousands of Sikhs visit Pakistan each year to celebrate the birth anniversary of their founder, Guru Nanak, at Nankana Sahib, his birthplace.[5] This illustrated guide introduces most of the Sikh shrines in Pakistan connected with the founding Guru, to help prospective pilgrims who wish to visit these shrines.[6]

The chapter on the Sikh Raj gives some background to the Sikhs' history and their present political status, referencing some recent events of historical importance and significance.
