Gurdwara Rakab Ganj Sahib

Gurdwara Rakab Ganj Sahib, Sikh temple near Parliament House in New Delhi, India.

Gurdwara Rakab Ganj Sahib is a white gurdwara near Parliament House in New Delhi, on Pandit Pant Marg by old Raisina village. Its symmetrical facade carries a large central onion dome with a finial, flanked by two smaller domes on corner pavilions, with a domed chhatri behind. Below, arched openings and corner cupolas sit above a recessed pointed-arch entrance with a sign in Gurmukhi script; a tall orange flagpole stands to the left.

The temple was built at the location where Lakhi Shah Banjara cremated Guru Tegh Bahadur's body in 1675 by setting his own house on fire. This act of sacrifice and devotion became a symbol of faith for the Sikh community.

The gurdwara marks the spot where Lakhi Shah Banjara and his son Bhai Naghaiya set fire to their own house to cremate the headless body of Guru Tegh Bahadur in November 1675, burying the ashes there. The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee, which is based here, has placed a "Wall of Truth" memorial in the complex bearing the names of Sikhs killed in 1984.

The temple is open daily, though visitors must pass through security checkpoints before entering. Head coverings are required for everyone, and separate entrances are provided for men and women in keeping with traditional practices.

Inside the complex stands the 'Wall of Truth', a memorial to the 1984 violence against Sikhs, with the names of those killed inscribed on the wall. In 2018 a group led by Sukhvinder Singh Sodhi held a sit-in protest here against renovations by the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee that they said were damaging the courtyard.
