Pehowa is a town in Haryana that was visited by Sri Guru Nanak Sahib Ji during his first udasi.
When Guru Nanak came here the local pandits enjoyed absolute power. The pandits used various religous tricks to influence and mislead the people. They would loot the devotees who came to this place.
When Guru Nanak came to know what was happening, he admonished the pandits. Guru Nanak said that while the gains from public offerings had multiplied, the sins of the pandits would multiply even further in the same way.
The pandits had no answer, they soon realized their mistake and sought forgiveness from the Guru. Guru Nanak stayed in Pehowa for some time. He spent his time meditating on God and preaching to the people.
