Takht Sri Damdama Sahib, Sikh religious complex in Talwandi Sabo, Punjab, India.
This sacred complex features a gold-domed main prayer hall with marble flooring, ornate artwork, and multiple galleries displaying traditional Sikh artifacts including weapons and religious paintings.
Guru Gobind Singh completed the compilation of the Guru Granth Sahib at this location in 1705, making it a foundational site where the sacred Sikh scripture reached its final form.
The complex serves as one of the five Takhts in Sikhism, representing the highest religious authority and hosting important ceremonies, festivals, and scholarly activities throughout the year.
The site welcomes visitors of all faiths and features a langar hall serving free vegetarian meals to approximately 2,000 people simultaneously, along with accommodation facilities for pilgrims.
Known as 'Guru Ki Kashi' meaning the literary center of Sikhs, this location houses the Damdama Bir, a handwritten copy of the Guru Granth Sahib created under Guru Gobind Singh's direct supervision.
