Gurdwara Bangla Sahib

Gurdwara Bangla Sahib is one of the most prominent Sikh houses of worship in Delhi, India. Originally a bungalow belonging to Raja Jai Singh, it is associated with the eighth Sikh Guru, Guru Har Krishan, who stayed here during a smallpox and cholera epidemic in 1664. The young Guru helped the sick and needy, distributing holy water from the small pool inside the complex. The water from the sarovar (sacred pool) is still considered to have healing properties. The gurdwara is known for its striking golden dome, beautiful architecture, and the constant recitation of Gurbani. It runs one of the largest community kitchens in Delhi.
