The birthplace of Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, is option 4 - Talwandi. Talwandi is now known as Nankana Sahib and is located in present-day Pakistan. Guru Nanak was born in 1469 in this town, which was then part of the Punjab region. It is significant because Nankana Sahib is considered one of the holiest sites in Sikhism. It is the location of the Gurdwara Janam Asthan, which marks the place of Guru Nanak`s birth. The gurdwara attracts thousands of Sikh pilgrims from around the world every year. It is important to note that Gurdaspur, Amritsar, and Lahore mentioned in the options have historical and religious significance in Sikhism, but they are not the birthplace of Guru Nanak.
