Gurdwara Gobind Ghat, Sikh temple ghat on the Ganges River in Patna, India

Gurdwara Gobind Ghat is a Sikh shrine built along the Ganges riverbank in Patna, marked by a prominent gateway and traditional Sikh architectural details. The site includes a prayer hall and a stepped riverfront that pilgrims use to access the water.

Sikh historical sources hold that this is the spot where Guru Gobind Singh threw his gold bangle, the kangan, into the Ganges, giving the ghat its other name, Kangan Ghat. Here too he passed on the knowledge of the Guru Granth Sahib to Pandit Shiv Dutt, a devotee of Sri Ram Chandra.

Every day, a free communal meal called langar is served here, open to anyone who visits regardless of background. Sharing food is central to how Sikhs practice their faith, and visitors are welcome to sit and eat alongside pilgrims.

The ghat is a short ride from Patna Sahib railway station and can be reached by local transport or auto-rickshaw. Shoes must be removed before entering, so wearing easy footwear makes the visit more comfortable.

The ghat's other name, Kangan Ghat, comes from the gold bangle (kangan) that Guru Gobind Singh threw here, as recorded in Sikh historical sources. The same tradition holds that at this spot he passed on the knowledge of the Guru Granth Sahib to Pandit Shiv Dutt, a devotee of Sri Ram Chandra.
