Gwarighat is a small town on the banks of the river Narmada near the city of Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh, India. It is also associated with Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism.

Guru Nanak undertook four journeys, also known as "Udaasis" (literally a somber state of mind, here - travels), in order to spread his message. He traveled four times in four different directions from his native Punjab. During his first "Udasi" starting in 1501 CE he traveled to eastern and southern India. During his return towards Punjab he stopped at Gwarighat and preached there. There is a Gurudwara (a Sikh temple) on the picturesque bank of the Narmada river to commemorate Guru Nanak’s visit.

It also has a Jain temple which is famous for its idols.
