Gurudwara Baba Ke

Gurdwara Baba Ke in Delhi takes its name from the Sikh tradition of honoring revered spiritual figures with the title "Baba" — a term of deep respect first used by Guru Nanak when he named his young companion Bura "Buddha" (wise elder), who went on to become the first head Granthi of the Harmandir Sahib. The tradition of community gurdwaras named after beloved local spiritual leaders reflects the decentralized and egalitarian nature of Sikh worship, where any group of devotees can establish a place to house the Guru Granth Sahib, perform kirtan, and serve langar.
