Gurudwara Bangla Sahib

Gurudwara Bangla Sahib ranks 4th in the list of best places to visit in New Delhi. One of the most well-known Sikh gurdwaras, or places of worship, in Delhi, India, is Gurudwara Bangla Sahib. It is well-known for its connections to Guru Har Krishan, the eighth Sikh guru, as well as the sacred pond inside its complex, known as the "Sarovar." In the year 1783, under the direction of Sikh General Sardar Baghel Singh, nine Sikh temples were built in Delhi under the reign of the Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II. It was initially constructed as a tiny shrine on the mansion that King Raja Jai Singh of Amer had provided.

Highlights include its spectacular pool, the Sarovar, at the center of this expansive complex, as well as its renowned gold dome and flagpole. The enormous temple structure itself, as well as its art gallery and tiny museum devoted to the history of the Sikh faith, are noteworthy as well. Visitors are always welcome, and the spacious Gurdwara Kitchen offers a delicious dinner for no charge. Your hair must be covered, and shoes must be taken off (free headscarves and shoe storage are provided).
