Located along Delhi’s Ashoka Road, Bangla Sahib Gurudwara is easily accessible from the busy downtown area of Connaught Place in New Delhi. Bangla Sahib, like other Gurdwaras, provides a free lunch called langar to all who wish to participate, regardless of their religious or social background.
Originally built as the palace of Raja Jai Singh in the 17th century, this gurudwara has a long and storied past. Its stunning architecture is impossible to miss. The ninth Sikh guru, Guru Har Krishna, came to see the emperor in 1664 and cured outbreaks of smallpox and cholera by distributing water from the tank.
Patel Chowk (on Yellow Line) and Rajiv Chowk (on Blue Line) are the nearest metro stations. You can go to the Gurudwara via auto rickshaw. The Gurudwara remains open non-stop and accepts visitors without any charge. However, if you want to see more of Delhi, you can walk three kilometers from the metro station to the gurudwara. One can stop at Jantar Mantar on the way to Gurudwara.
