Gurudwara Bangla Sahib

Gurdwara Bangla Sahib is the most prominent Sikh Gurdwara, or Sikh house of worship, in Delhi, known for its association with the eighth Sikh Guru, Guru Har Krishan, and the pool inside its complex, known as the 'Sarovar.'

Built in the sacred memories of Shri Guru Har KrishanJi's visit to Delhi, it has turned as an important pilgrim centre of Sikhs and other pilgrims. At the request of Mughal King Aurangzeb and through the persuasion of Mirza Raja Jai Singh of Amber, Guru ji agreed to come to Delhi. Raja Jai Singh invited Guru Ji to the present site which originally belonged to Raja Jai Singh. Rajas wife thought of testing the spiritual powers of the Guru and disguised herself as maid servant and sat among the attendants. Guru Sahib at the age of 8 years identified the Rani and sat in her lap. Thus convincing her of the the spiritual powers of Guru Nanak and his True Disciples. In those days small pox was raging in the city of Delhi on an epidemic form. The citizens of Delhi suffered grief and death. As a result of calamity that had befallen there, Guru Ji out of love and compassion for suffering humanity dipped his holy feet in water and poured charan amrit into small chaubacha (tank). He died at age eight during that epidemic in Delhi.

All those who took water from caubacha were cured from the disease. Thus the people of Delhi were saved from that epidemic. Devotees with faith and devotion come from far and near and get rid of suffering by taking a dip in the holy water.
