Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib ji, New Delhi

One of the most significant Sikh places of worship, Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib is one of the nine historical Gurdwaras in Delhi. It established in 1783 by Baghel Singh Dhaliwal to commemorate the martyrdom site of the ninth Sikh Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur. After Aurangzeb executed Tez Bahadur due to his refusal to convert to Islam, it was stolen by one of the guru's disciples, Lakhi Shah Vanjara. To cremate his guru, Vanjara took the body of the guru to his house and burnt it to the ground. The exact spot of this cremation is where the Gurudwara stands. Prayers and devotional bhajans take place all day every day here. A huge kitchen prepares food for hundreds of devotees to serve during the Langar. The gurudwara complex also houses the trunk used to sever the head of the guru, the well used by guru for bathing, the prison, and kothawali where the guru was imprisoned. A sacred site symbolizes the solidarity of religion and faith.
