With its rich history and association with the eighth Sikh Guru, Guru Har Krishan, this gurdwara has become one of the most prominent places of worship in India’s capital city.

The temple complex houses a holy pond called the “Sarovar,” which is a revered site for Sikhs, symbolizing purity and spiritual cleansing.

Originally established as a small shrine by the eminent Sikh General Sardar Baghel Singh in 1783, Gurudwara Bangla Sahib has a fascinating tale behind its construction.

It was built on a bungalow graciously donated by the generous king, Raja Jai Singh of Amer. This act of philanthropy showcased the unity between different religious communities during those times. Notably, Raja Jai Singh supervised the construction of nine Sikh shrines in Delhi during the reign of Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II.

Today, Gurudwara Bangla Sahib stands as a testament to the harmonious coexistence of different cultures and faiths in the city. Its architectural grandeur and spiritual ambiance attract devotees and visitors from all walks of life.

The tranquil Sarovar within the temple complex provides a serene atmosphere for meditation and reflection, allowing individuals to find solace in the midst of the bustling city.
