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.
The shrine is linked to Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Guru of the Sikhs, who spent part of his early life in this area of Patna. The name of the ghat honors his presence here and the bond he formed with the local community.
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.
A Karonda tree on the site is said to have grown from the twig that Guru Gobind Singh used as a toothbrush and planted in the ground during his time here. The tree flowers throughout the year, and many visitors stop to look at it without knowing the story behind it.
