Gurdwara Rakab Ganj Sahib
- Gurdwara Rakab Ganj Sahib
The Gurdwara Rakab Ganj Sahib in Delhi marks the site, where Lakhi Shah Vanjara, a disciple of the ninth Sikh Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur, burnt his own house so as to cremate the body of the Guru. Guru Tegh Bahadur had been beheaded in Chandni Chowk on the orders of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb for refusing to accept Islam. That spot is marked by another Gurdwara, Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib. The Guru's severed head was brought from Delhi to Anandpur Sahib by Bhai Jaita, another disciple and was cremated by his son, Gobind Rai, who later became Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth and last Guru of the Sikhs. This place is marked by a Gurdwara which is also called Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib.
