The Gurudwara Sri Bangla Sahib commemorates the sacred visit of Guru Har Krishan to Delhi in the 17th century. Invited by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb and hosted by Mirza Raja Jai Singh I, the young Guru stayed at this site, which originally served as the Raja’s residence, giving rise to the name “Bangla Sahib.” During his time in the city, Delhi was facing a severe outbreak of smallpox, and the Guru is remembered for his compassion and selfless service to those suffering from the epidemic, regardless of caste or creed.

According to Sikh tradition, water associated with the Guru’s presence came to be regarded as sacred, and the sarovar within the complex continues to hold deep spiritual significance for devotees. Many visitors from across the world come here with faith and devotion, believing in its healing and purifying qualities, and often take a small amount of this holy water. Today, the gurudwara, with its gleaming golden dome and serene marble surroundings, remains not only a major place of worship but also a symbol of equality, humility, and service. These values are further reflected in its langar, where free meals are served daily to all who visit.
