Gurudwara Moti Bagh Sahib

Historical Gurudwara where Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji camped with his army. Earlier it was known as Mochi Bagh and later the name was changed to Moti Bagh.

An old story relates that the Guru, an accomplished archer, shot two arrows from a colony of cobblers in Moti Bagh which hit the 'Divan' (throne or bed) of Prince Muazzam (later Bahadur Shah).

The Guru's first arrow announced his arrival in Delhi and the second arrow carried a chit saying, "It is not magic but skill of archery". Bahadur Shah was said to be sitting in the Red fort at the time. Seeing the arrow strike, Bahadur Shah took this as a miracle. The story continues that a second arrow landed in the Divan's left foot with a note (chit) pointing out that the Emperor was wrong in labelling the sudden appearance of an arrow in his cot as a miracle, as the note stated that this was not a miracle but a display of the Guru's skill in archery. The Emperor was said to be so impressed with this that he immediately acknowledged Guru Sahib's supremacy.

Presently as on Dec 2019, there is Big Darbar Sahib where Gurbani and Katha Keertan are recited throughout the day.

Langar Sewa is also done very efficiently. Sarai for overnight stay is almost complete. A small two wheeler/four wheeler parking is also functional. This Gurudwara is of great help for people returning/going abroad. They can unwind here and get refreshed here. Also if the arrival/departure is delayed, travellers and their families can rest/have food here. This is veey near to Delhi Metro Pink line DD Deshmukh station and Dhaula Kuan Station of Airport Express line of Delhi Metro.

Overall a Nice experience and Big Thanks to Management.
