Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib
An important Sikh place of worship. Built on the spot where their ninth guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur, was beheaded on the orders of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. The trunk of the tree beneath which the head of the Guru was severed and the well used by him for taking a bath during his prison term has been preserved in the shrine. The Sikh regiment of the Indian army salutes the Sis Ganj Gurudwara after saluting the president of India since 1979, the only instance of saluting twice in the Republic Day parade by a regiment of the Indian army. The Gurudwara came up in 1783. However, due to the volatile political climate in the coming century, the site alternated between being a mosque and a gurudwara. The dispute was finally settled in 1930 when the case was settled in favour of the Sikhs. The Sikhs celebrated their victory by adding gold gild to the domes. It is an oasis of calm in the chaos of Old Delhi's Chandni Chowk. You will need to cover your head (scarves provided for free) and stash your shoes in the shoe storage run by volunteers (also free).
