The Name’s the Game (But Not Quite!)

Let’s start with the name, Majnu ka Tilla. It translates to “Hill of Majnu.” Majnu ka Tilla might sound like the title of a Bollywood rom-com starring a lovesick hero named Majnu.

He was a Sufi mystic named Abdulla. Legend has it that during Sultan Sikandar Lodhi’s reign (think old-school Delhi), Majnu ferried people across the Yamuna River for free. 

When Guru Nanak Dev Ji, a revered Sikh leader, came along, Majnu offered him a free ride too. Guru Nanak was so impressed by Majnu’s devotion that he chilled by the river for a bit. 

Fast forward a few centuries and a Sikh military leader built the Majnu ka Tilla Gurudwara to commemorate this holy place. So, the name’s a bit of a mashup, but hey, that’s Delhi for you!
