I feel blessed to celebrate my birthday in my birthplace, New Delhi, India. My only request was to spend the day at Gurdwara Bangla Sahib. This was one of my mother’s favorite Gurdwara’s which she would visit often. All I feel is gratitude… Grateful for another year, grateful for my daughter, my family, friends and grateful for all of you guys who always show me so much love and support. #birthdaygirl #birthday #traveleengurl #gurdwara #banglasahib #gurdwarabanglasahib #waheguru #blessings #grateful #gratitude #newdelhi #india #delhi #delhidiaries #delhiindia

My recent visit to Bangla Sahib Gurudwara was a profoundly moving and spiritually enriching experience. Located in the heart of Delhi, this sacred Sikh shrine is not just a place of worship but also a symbol of compassion, community, and selfless service—a beacon of hope and healing for people of all faiths and backgrounds. Approaching the gurudwara, I was struck by its grandeur and magnificence, with its gleaming golden dome and white marble facade standing in stark contrast to the bustling streets of the city. Stepping through the entrance gate, I was immediately enveloped in a sense of peace and tranquility, as the melodious strains of Gurbani Kirtan (Sikh hymns) filled the air and devotees bowed their heads in prayer. Walking through the marble courtyard of the gurudwara, I was struck by the spirit of seva (selfless service) that permeated every corner. Volunteers, known as sevadars, worked tirelessly to ensure that every visitor was welcomed with open arms and offered food, shelter, and spiritual guidance. The langar (community kitchen) of Bangla Sahib is renowned for serving free meals to thousands of people every day, regardless of caste, creed, or religion—a powerful testament to the Sikh principles of equality, compassion, and inclusivity. Entering the sanctum sanctorum of the gurudwara, I was moved by the sight of the Guru Granth Sahib (Sikh holy scripture) adorned with flowers and surrounded by devotees offering prayers and seeking blessings. The atmosphere was charged with devotion and reverence, as people from all walks of life came together to connect with the divine and find solace amidst life's trials and tribulations. One of the highlights of my visit was partaking in the langar meal, where I was humbled by the warmth and hospitality of the volunteers who served with smiles on their faces and hearts full of love. Sitting side by side with strangers from diverse backgrounds, I felt a sense of kinship and unity that transcended barriers of language, culture, and nationality—a true embodiment of the universal brotherhood espoused by Sikhism. In conclusion, a visit to Bangla Sahib Gurudwara is not just a religious pilgrimage but a transformative journey of the soul—a chance to experience the power of faith, love, and service in action. Whether you're a devout Sikh, a spiritual seeker, or simply a curious traveler, Bangla Sahib offers an unforgettable experience that will leave you inspired, uplifted, and deeply touched. Note: Visitors are advised to cover their heads, remove their shoes, and observe the guidelines of respect and modesty when visiting the gurudwara. Additionally, donations to support the gurudwara's charitable endeavors are always appreciated.

From the moment you step into the serene and welcoming premises of Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, located near Connaught Place in Delhi, you are enveloped in an atmosphere of profound peace and spirituality. This sacred site not only serves as a beacon of Sikh faith but also as a place where everyone, regardless of their background, is welcomed with open arms.

The highlight of my visit was participating in the Langar, a community meal that embodies the Sikh principles of equality and selfless service. The simple yet nourishing food served with love and humility is more than just a meal; it's a reminder of the shared humanity that binds us all. This act of kindness and the opportunity to volunteer in preparing and serving the Langar adds to the enriching experience, making you feel truly connected to Waheguru Ji. Chanting of 'Waheguru' along with the harmonious kirtan (devotional music) in the background adds to the spiritual ambiance, making it easy for one to meditate and find inner peace. The warmth and kindness of the people at Bangla Sahib reinforce the message of brotherhood and the Sikh greeting, "Shree Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh. Satnam Shree Waheguru," which resonates deeply with the essence of this holy place. In conclusion, Gurudwara Bangla Sahib is not just a place of worship but a sanctuary where souls are nurtured, and hearts are filled with divine love.

Our pathetic experience visiting a gurudhwara for the first time! ☹️ Sat Sri Akaal🙏🏻 This is nothing against the religion. I have high regards and respect for Sikhs and wanted to visit a gurudhwara since childhood and thought of visiting a prominent one during my visit to delhi, the initial vibes was very good, offered prayers, money, sat and listened to the Keerthans and speech inside the main temple for sometime and then headed to the pond area where we(me and my wife) clicked some pics after seeing many others doing the same and the security there didn't stop any of them or us from clicking either, then we went around the pond clicked few more pics and headed towards the main building. Near the stairs towards the main building some lady, a security guy and one more person stopped us so randomly and asked to give my phone to him for checking. He then checked my phone, deleted all the photos clicked inside the temple premises but didn't stop there.... he SHAMELESSLY kept checking my other personal photos going through all my recent and older pics!! 🙄 Doesn't these security guys have atleast some common ETHICS? 😡 If that is the case then why wasn't the phones of other people checked? This felt like a targeted check since he could easily identify us as non-sikh people. Felt this way cos many people from the same community were clicking pics(selfies even) right infront of the main building but nobody questioned them but we had to go through the MENTAL HARASSMENT of some random guy checking our entire gallery and on top of that deleting few others of my recent photos and the photos of Sheesh Ganj temple which was clicked few days earlier, from the road which is a public display...UTTER NONSENSE!! Since when does one have restrictions of clicking places or things in public road?? Cherry on top was that he INVESTIGATED us of what we do, where we are from, what were we doing inside the temple, do we know of some IPCs etc and then searched and made us listen to some IPC 295 in my own phone and kept on taunting if we are allowed to click photos of our temples...WOW! Ofcourse we told them that clicking deities in main temples are not allowed but no one stops us from clicking pics from road or outside temple sanctorium! I guess its better to collect the phones and store in lockers if this is the partial treatment done for people who are of different religion or visiting the temple for the first time....like how some major Hindu temples do and to avoid idiots like these who would create a sense of misconception among other communities by their stupid behaviours. This is one of incident but highly discourages individuals from visiting and respecting people and religion from various historic cultures. Being a Google reviewer and an Indian, this was highly disappointing👎🏼👎🏼 Hope no one else faces this kinda treatment! Wahe Guruji da Khalsa, Wahe guruji di Fateh🙏🏼 Fyi - Google reviews, instagram, snapchat etc of this place are filled with recent photos and videos clicked inside the temple sanatorium too and this idiot had the audacity to go though our personal photos, snapchat and deleting it 👏🏼

Dedicated to Guru Hari Krishan Sahib, Gurdwara Bangla Sahib in Delhi is famous as Sikh pilgrimage center. It is one of the most important historical and sacred pilgrimage destinations of the Sikh community. Let's talk about some interesting facts about Bangla Sahib: Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, one of the prominent and holiest Sikh shrines in Delhi, has been an important place of worship. The ambiance of the Gurudwara Bangla Sahib is so mesmerizing that positivity comes from within. • Nishan Sahib :This is a tall flagpole which signifies the presence of a Gurudwara and is hoisted at almost all the big / small Gurudwaras. Devotees pay homage to the same by doing Parikrama / Circumambulation. Sarovar :The beautiful pond, maintained within the Gurudwara Bangla Sahib premises. The devotees take a dip in the holy pond and does Parikrama. The Gurudwara has a hospital and a library, offering dedicated services to one and all. It is best to visit the Gurudwara at night or early morning as it is quiet and peaceful and you can also capture mesmerizing images. The place also wears a festive look on Gurupurab (B'day of Guru Nanak Dev Ji - the first guru of the Sikhs), Diwali and Guru Har krishan's birth anniversary. These occasions are marked very special by people and candles are lit at night and early morning. Langar Sewa: Every religion follows its own way of feeding the 'Langar' – a free community - kitchen - this idea remains special to my heart. The distinct Sikh ritual is followed dedicatedly at this holy place, serving food to people every day, irrespective of caste, color, creed, sex or religion. The Langar is purely vegetarian, freshly cooked and served in batches to the devotees. Usually it's a combination of Parshada (roti), Daal, Sabzi and Kheer served at a sit-down meal held at regular intervals. • Amrit (The Holy Water): The Amrit being served at the Gurudwaras is believed to have a divine power of healing ailments and is consumed with the same faith to keep the ill effects/ negativities at bay. The Amrit is served by volunteers to everyone.
