Guru Ki Wadali is located about 8 km's from Amritsar city.

Guru Ki Wadali was founded by Sri Guru Arjan Sahib Ji when he left Amritsar. Guru Arjan decided to leave Amritsar after Prithi Chand's (Guru Arjan's brother) continued bad behaviour.

Sri Guru Arjan Sahib Ji had a large well constructed at this location. The well was so large that it used 6 persian wheels to operate. Gurdwara Sri Cheharta Sahib's name is because Che (means Six) + hart or harta (means persian wheel).

While the wheel was being built Guru Arjan had a son, the furture Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji. This may have been the reason the well had six wheels. The well helped the problems with water shortages in the area, even today the well provides the Gurdwara with water.

Gurdwara Sri Cheharta Sahib is set in a 6 acre, walled compound, the complex includes a divan hall, with a square sanctum in the middle enclosed by a brass palisade, above which there is a square room with a lotus dome topped by a gold plated pinnacle. Two Nishan Sahibs on top of 25 metre tall flagposts, on either side, stand in front of the Gurdwara.
