Gurdwara Bangla Sahib is the most prominent Sikh
Gurdwara, or Sikh house of worship, in Delhi. It is instantly recognisable by
its stunning golden dome and tall flagpole. Gurdwara Bangla Sahib was originally
a bungalow belonging to Raja Jai Singh, an Indian ruler in the seventeenth
century. The eighth Sikh Guru, Guru Har Krishan resided here during his stay in
Delhi. During that time, there was a smallpox and cholera epidemic, and Guru Har
Krishan helped the suffering by giving aid and fresh water from the well at this
house. The water is now revered as having healing properties, and is taken by
Sikhs throughout the world back to their homes.
Gurudwara Bangla Sahib is situated in the heart of New Delhi's Connaught Place
area. It is loacted on the east side intersection of Ashok Road and Baba Kharag
Singh Marg. Originally this place was the Bungalow(haveli) of Mirza Raja Jai
Singh, hence the name Bangla Sahib.
