'''Lakhpat Gurdwara Sahib''' or '''Gurdwara Pehli Patshahi''' (Gurdwara of The First Master) is a [[Gurdwara]], a place of worship for the [[Sikh]]s, located in [[Lakhpat]] of [[Kutch district]], [[Gujarat]], India. [[Guru Nanak]] on his way to [[Mecca]] stayed over in the town during his second (1506-1513) and fourth (1519-1521) missionary journey called ''Udasi''s. It is believed that he had visited the site during his fourth journey. The descendants of the host established Gurdwara here in early 19th century. This Gurdwara have his relics like wooden footwear and [[palkhi]] (cradle) as well as manuscripts and markings of two important heads of [[Udasi]] sect. The site is worshiped by the Udasi sect and initially it was maintained by them. Now it is maintained by local Sikh community and Gurdwara Shri Guru Nanak Singh Sabha of [[Gandhidham]]. The Gurdwara is the State Protected Monument (S-GJ-65) by the state archeological department. It has won the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Award in 2004 <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://bangkok.unesco.org/sites/default/files/assets/article/Asia-Pacific%20Heritage%20Awards/files/2004-winners.pdf|title=Asia Pacific awards files 2004-winners|last=|first=|date=|website=Bangkok UNESCO.org|access-date=2 November 2019}}</ref> of Distinction for conservation after the [[2001 Gujarat earthquake|earthquake in 2001]].<ref>[http://cities.expressindia.com/fullstory.php?newsid=98722 BOTTOMLINE - THE AWARD COMES AS A GIFT FOR LOCAL RESIDENTS, NONE OF THEM SIKH, WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE RESTORATION PROJECT.
