Delhi's best-known Sikh gurdwara, linked to Guru Har Krishan. It has a sacred sarovar, a free community kitchen (langar) and gold domes near Connaught Place.
The gurdwara stands where Raja Jai Singh's Jaisinghpura Palace once was. Guru Har Krishan, the eighth Sikh Guru, stayed here in 1664 and helped people during a smallpox and cholera outbreak. Sikh general Baghel Singh built the first shrine on the site in 1783. Today the white marble complex has a prayer hall, a large sarovar, a langar hall that feeds thousands every day, and a museum on Sikh history.
Highlights
- Darbar Sahib prayer hall
- Sarovar (holy tank)
- Langar hall
- Kada prasad
- Baba Baghel Singh Museum
Tips
- Use the free shoe deposit
- Volunteers welcome in the langar kitchen
- Sit on the floor for langar and accept food with both hands
