Gurdwara Bangla Sahib

About

Gurdwara Bangla Sahib, a sacred haven in the heart of New Delhi, stands as a serene testament to Sikh spirituality and compassion. Constructed during the 18th century, Gurdwara Bangla Sahib holds historical significance rooted in the life of Guru Harkrishan Sahib, the eighth Sikh Guru. The premises include the original bungalow where Guru Harkrishan Sahib resided during his stay in Delhi, providing a tangible connection to the revered Sikh guru. The shimmering Sarovar (pond) within the complex adds a tranquil touch to the surroundings, inviting visitors to partake in its sacred waters. The soothing atmosphere and devotional hymns resonate, creating a haven for spiritual contemplation and meditation. One of the notable features of Gurdwara Bangla Sahib is the community kitchen, or Langar, where volunteers tirelessly serve free meals to all visitors, regardless of their caste, creed, or background. This timeless tradition echoes the Sikh principles of equality, compassion, and selfless service. The golden dome and intricately designed architecture further enhance the spiritual aura of the gurdwara.
