Bangla Sahib Gurudwara

Location

Gurdwara Bangla Sahib in Delhi was once a superlative and large bungalow of Raja Jai Singh of Amber (now Jaipur) who commanded great respect and honor in the court of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. It has been converted in to a holy shrine since the eighth Guru Sri Har Krishan accepted the invitation of the king and stayed here for a few months. During his stay in Delhi, the Guru spent most of his time in serving the humble and the sick and directed Diwan Dargah Mal to use the daily offerings made to him by his devotees for the welfare of the poor. Thus, he won many admirers and there were stories that told about his healing powers spreading throughout the city.
