Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, New Delhi

Every Sikh in Delhi must have visited the magnificent Gurudwara Bangala Sahib at least once. It is spacious like all Gurudwaras and gives a sence of peace. It was originally a bungalow owned by Raja Jai Singh Amber (Jaipur) who commanded great respect in the court of Emperor Aurangzeb . The eighth Guru Sri Harkishan had stayed here for a few months as guest of Raja Jai Singh. Since then it has become a place of pilgrimage for both, Hindus and Sikhs. The pool adjacent to the Gurudwara is like all pools in Gurudwaras said to be sacred. In those days Guru Harikrishan had cured people of small pox and other diseases. People till today wash themselves in the pool in hope of getting rid of any possible diseases.
