Ghantewala Confectioners - Babarpur

This lovely temple is in the midst of Old Delhi and a historic site, the martyrdom of the ninth Sikh Guru (dating back to 1675). It gives one some exposure to the Sikh religion and for me as a westerner was a great experience. A very nice old building (built in 1783), you enter in bare feet and wash your feet prior entry, the music, the reverence of the interior, the colours and the music and chants are quite amazing. It is indeed a special place. It is worth reading about the Temple before your visit (we sadly had not done that but have since done so and relived the visit reviewing the many photos taken). We now know a lot more about the history and philosophy behind the Sikh religion and way of life. It is also important to visit the kitchens and see where the huge amounts of fresh food are prepared – vegetables and breads, to feed the poor. A very worthwhile visit and a unique insight into a major part of Indian culture.

This place is wonderful, because being here is a feeling of purity and peace where you forgot all your miseries and have a positive mind. There are several types of seva (services) include everything when you come in Delhi you can please visit this place Most Important : Keeping the head covered is important, and headscarves are available in a basket at the entrance for free History :The ninth Sikh Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur was beheaded here on 11 November 1675 on the orders of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, when Guru Tegh Bahadur protested against the forceful conversion of Kashmiri Pandits and dharmic people to Islam.

Wahe Guru Ji Da Khalsa... Wahe Guru Ji Di Fateh... This place doesn't require any review of a comman explorer like me. Sis Ganj Sahib is well maintained just like other gurudwaras, it has an important role in Sikhism. 24*7 Langer runs here, you can take prashad. All facilities like parking, stay for guests etc available. Holy place of martyrdom of Shri Guru Teg Bahadur Ji is on the square in front of gurudwara. A museum is also there where you should definitely visit to know the history of Sikhism and the contribution of holy saints to save Hinduism and Sikhism.

It's revered place. You will find peace and harmony here. It's a holy place for Sikhs which are a brave and fierce breed. Sikhs are very devoted to their Gurus and their religion.

Shees ganj Gurudwara is situated in chandni chowk. Old Delhi. This area is very congested, even then the Gurudwara is huge and covers a large area. It is very beautiful and facelift was very good. I have visited after a very long time. Gurudwara Shees Ganj Sahib was built at the spot where Guru Teg Bahadur was beheaded by Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, when the former refused to convert to Islam.
