2. Gurudwara Bangla Sahib is one of the most well-known Sikh gurudwaras in Delhi and which is associated with the eighth Sikh guru, ‘Guru Har Krishan’. Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, in contrast to the majority of other Gurudwaras in the nation, wasn't first constructed as a shrine. It was first built has a small holy place by Sikh General Sardar Baghel Singh in 1783, under the reign of Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II, on the bungalow given by King Raja Jai Singh of Amer, who oversaw the construction of nine Sikh shrines in Delhi in the same year. It also has a holy pond inside of it known as, Sarovar which enhances the aesthetic beauty of the gurudwara.

3. It is located on Baba Kharak Singh Marg, close to Connaught Place in New Delhi, and is easily identified by its golden dome and towering flagpole, Nishan Sahib. The Sacred Heart Cathedral is situated right next to it. During his trip in Delhi in 1664, Guru Har Krishan, the eighth Sikh Guru, lived here. Smallpox and cholera were rampant at the time, and Guru Har Krishan Ji alleviated the suffering by providing aid and clean water from this house's well. He soon fell ill as well, and on March 30, 1664, he passed away. Raja Jai Singh eventually built a small tank over the well; now, Sikhs all over the world bring its water back to their homes since it is believed to have medicinal virtues. This gurudwara is of great significance to the Sikh community and a location for a special assemblage on Guru Har Krishan's birthday. The structure is made using white marble, there are carvings on the front wall of the gurudwara. It also consists of a museum which is known as Baba Baghel Singh Museum which provides a very aesthetic experience and where we can learn about the history of Sikhism. The museum also tells the tale of the 10 Sikhism gurus and the Sikh martyrs who gave their lives in defense of their religion and their faith. They also show us a 3D movie where we can have the same experience virtually.

4. Every day, Gurudwara Bangla Sahib's langar hall provides free vegetarian meals to about 10,000 people. All visitors are welcome to this communal meal service, regardless of their social status or caste, creed, race, or religion. To assist in meal preparation, a significant number of people volunteered their time at the community kitchen. Anyone can volunteer which is often termed as ‘ SEWA’. They follow certain rules and regulations such as visitors are requested to cover their hair with head scarves ( rumaal ) and not wear shoes which can also be kept where they provide free shoe minding service. Here also any one can wish to do SEWA t o help keep the shoes in the shoe-minding room, and cleaning the area of the Gurudwara. Also, people are requested to wear full clothes and cover their bodies and show no skin. Photography and videography are not permitted inside of the gurudwara. There are also some traditions and customs that they follow such as you are requested not to move at the time of ardas and stand still. Kadha parshaad is also provided there. There is also space around there where people can rest, sleep and maybe just sit for free and this is very thoughtful for the ones who are homeless.

5. I would suggest for everyone to visit this place at least once in their lives as in to seek blessings as wells as it provides us with peace. (Since photographs are not allowed inside of the gurudwara, and I couldn’t click much pictures in aspect of it) here are some of them.
