Takht Sri Patna Sahib, Sacred Sikh temple in Patna district, India.
Takht Sri Patna Sahib is a gurdwara in Patna district, Bihar, built with white marble and golden domes. The complex includes several prayer halls, a large courtyard, and accommodation rooms for pilgrims spread across multiple floors.
The site became known in the 17th century as the birthplace of the tenth Sikh Guru and developed into an important pilgrimage center. The current temple complex took shape through several expansions and renovations during the 20th century.
The temple maintains traditional practices including daily prayers, communal meals, and spiritual teachings that serve the Sikh community in Bihar.
Visitors should remove shoes before entering and cover their head with a cloth available at the entrance. The communal meal is served daily in the langar hall and is open to everyone regardless of background or faith.
The museum on the grounds displays personal items linked to the tenth Guru, including childhood textiles and calligraphy pieces. A small pond behind the main building has served as a ritual bathing pool for pilgrims for centuries.
