40 мин

Located in the heart of Chandni Chowk, Delhi’s most popular marketplace, Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib is a historical shrine as it marks the exact site wherein 1675 Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth Sikh Guru, was mercilessly beheaded on orders by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb
The Sis Ganj Gurudwara is built in the Mughal architectural style with mesh-work windows, pavilions & parapets all in sandstone instead of the usual white marble like the other Gurudwaras. It is known to have served as a Mosque & a Gurudwara alternating itself owing to the sensitive political climate for a long time before finally being converted into a full-fledged Gurudwara with Gold-Gilded Domes In 1930.
It has a separate building that serves as the Langar (free kitchen) as well as accommodation for visitors & the homeless. It also houses relics from the Guru’s life, such as the well from where he drank while in prison there & the trunk of the tree under which he was executed.

Naughara - Row Of Nine Houses

30 мин

The name Naughara literally translates to nine (nau) homes (ghar), though one conflicting source argues for nine pots (ghara) of water kept out for thirsty travellers. Whatever the origin, Naughara remains one of the most charming galis of Shahjahanbad, more so because the quiet gated neighbourhood is entered through the bustling market street of Kinaari (trimmings and decorations) Bazaar. At the end of the lane is the white-marble clad entrance to the c. 19th century Jain Swetamber Mandir, where bursts of colour are provided by the exotic glass work and brilliant paintings. Try not to get fleeced by the temple attendant, and on your way out of the gali, peek into the office of Mr. Atma Ram Agarwal, so chockful of antiques that we first mistook it for a shop!
