bungalow was dedicated to the memory of the Guru and was made into a gurdwara. It has been a place of worship since then.

Spiritual hymns called gurbani are sung right through the day. Once the prayer is over, Karah, the religious prasad, is distributed among the devotees. The gurdwara also holds langar or community kitchen hall, where devotees are given free meals.

Before entering the main complex, devotees have to take a dip in the holy pond known as Sarovar or wash their feet at the entrance. Visitors must enter bare feet. Heads should be covered and one’s clothes should cover the legs and shoulders.

A tank in the gurdwara’s compound is believed to have been blessed by the Guru himself. It is believed that the water of this tank can cure people suffering from small pox and cholera.

Enthusiasts of Sikh history can see the Baba Baghel Singh Museum in the gurdwara’s basement. It is named after General Sardar Baghel Singh, who administered the construction of the nine Sikh shrines in Delhi in 1783. Paintings in the Art Gallery exhibit historical events linked with the history of the Sikhs.
