Naulakha is a major village in Fatehgarh Sahib District, in the Indian state of Punjab. It is situated on Sirhind-Patiala road, 13 km from Sirhind and 19 km from Patiala. It is a historic village. ''Guru Tegh Bahadur ji'', the ninth guru of Sikhs, and ''Mata Gujri ji'' are two of the most well-known visitors. Today, ''Gurudwara Naulakha Sahib'' is built on the site where they once stayed. The village has a population of about 1000. The three schools in the village are the "Govt. Primary School", "Govt. Middle School" and a private convent school named "Baba Zoravar Singh Baba Fateh Singh, Sen. Sec. Public School, Naulakha", also known as "B.Z.S.F.S School". A Masjid is also present in the village. The village has a "cooperative society" from where farmers can buy or hire anything related to agriculture. ==History== The name of the village is based on an event said to have taken place when Guru Tegh Bahadur and Mata Gujri stayed there for a day and night on a tour of the Malwa region. A man named Lakhi Shah Wanjara who had lost his ox said that he would give several takkas to the guru if it were found. When he found the ox, he approached the guru and gave him nine takkas. When the guru forwarded these to the Sangat without even touching them, Wanjara feared that the amount of the offering had been insufficient and told the guru that while he didn't have any more money on that day he would try to give more soon. The guru told the man that his nine takkas were the equivalent of nine lakhs of takka (''nau lakh''). He asked visitors who came to him later to name the village Naulakha in remembrance of the offering. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Naulakha, Punjab」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
