How much can the skyscraper shopping malls of Delhi fetch you? I doubt if they can offer you peace and solace of the same degree as a holy spot can. A holiday today for most of us mean a time to party n rock n roll. But what do we do with our jaded souls, which are tired of nagging wives, troubled bosses and meagre salary?Ultimate Solution: God
The doors of God are open for all. Register your visit to Gurudwara Bangla Sahib located in New Delhi, which is one of the most revered pilgrimage destinations for Hindu and Sikhs.
This Sunday I was among the fortunate ones who got a chance to visit to one of the most popular places of worship in Delhi. As soon as I entered the premises of Gurudwara, covering my head with a stole, I could feel the scorching heat turning into gushes of cold winds. The Gurudwara was packed with people of all religions. My first glance at the structure left me spellbound. The entire Gurudwara is constructed of white marble and is topped with shiny gold onion shaped dome. The architecture in fact, a fine amalgamation of Hindu and Muslim architecture. The gurdwara rests on the site where Guru Hari Krishan, the 8th of 10 Sikh gurus who lived between 1469 and 1708.
The complex also comprises a large pond ( called a Sarovar) and a Langar orcommunity Kitchen. The devotees dont forget to take a sin-cleansing holy dip in the waters of the pond and to eat food here. However get rid of cigarettes, shoes and socks before entering the complex.
If you have missed visiting Amritsar to see the Golden Temple, you by all means are welcomed to Gurudwara Bangla Sahib.
