Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib in Delhi was initially founded in 1783 in Chandni Chowk, bearing the name Sis Ganj Gurudwara, in memory of Guru Tegh Bahadur. 

The current structure was constructed in 1930, showcasing a large hall and a central, expansive canopy that houses the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy book of Sikhism. 

The complex features 250 rooms and 200 lockers for pilgrims seeking accommodation within Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib Delhi. It offers contemporary amenities to accommodate visitors.

The Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib location is also significant as it was the site where Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth Sikh Guru, was martyred, and his head was later taken by his devoted followers to Anandpur Sahib, where his son, Gobind Rai, also known as Guru Gobind Singh, became the tenth Sikh Guru.

Guru Tegh Bahadur’s head was severed when he stood firm against converting to Islam, leading to the ruthless act of beheading by Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. 

However, this courageous act has been instrumental in the survival and integration of Sikhism into Hindu culture. Another of his followers even sacrificed his own home to cremate his master’s body.
