Seva at Gurudwara Bangla Sahib from ₹251* · No subscription, ever
Have a verified Sevak offer your ardas at Delhi's Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, and receive same-day proof.
Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, near Connaught Place in New Delhi, stands on the site of a bungalow, the bangla that gives the shrine its name. It belonged to Raja Jai Singh of Amber, and in 1664 the eighth Sikh Guru, Guru Har Krishan, stayed there after being summoned to Delhi.
He was seven years old. He had become Guru at five, the youngest in Sikh history, and while he was in Delhi a smallpox epidemic was raging through the city. Rather than attend the Mughal court, the child Guru came out of the bungalow to tend the sick and directed that the daily offerings be spent on the destitute. He caught the disease himself and died on 30 March 1664, after a Guruship of two years, five months, and twenty-four days. Raja Jai Singh built a tank over the well on the property, and devotees still carry its water home as amrit for its healing properties, the reason so many prayers offered at Bangla Sahib are prayers for someone's recovery.
The shrine as a place of worship dates to 1783, when Sardar Baghel Singh raised it along with eight other Sikh shrines in Delhi. The Gurudwara has kept the character of the Guru's own week here: it runs a hospital in the levels below the complex, opened a diagnostic centre in March 2021 offering MRI scans at ₹50, and its langar feeds an enormous number of people every day, free and without question. In 1984, during the anti-Sikh riots, some 150 Sikhs took shelter inside it.

Gurudwara Bangla Sahib is open through the day and, like all gurudwaras, welcomes anyone regardless of faith. Its day is set by the Guru Granth Sahib rather than by fixed opening hours: prakash, when the scripture is installed, is done in Amrit Vela (roughly the hours between 2 and 6 in the morning) and sukhasan, when it is carried to rest, at night, with kirtan through the day and Rehras Sahib after sunset. Those points move with sunrise and sunset across the year, so summer and winter differ; confirm the day's schedule with the Gurudwara before travelling. Your Sevahey Sevak times your seva to that day's actual schedule and confirms the slot in the app.
Ardas is not said once a day at a set hour. At Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, as at every gurudwara, it is offered at prakash when the Guru Granth Sahib is installed in the morning, at sukhasan when it is carried to rest at night, and at the close of any service or ceremony in between, so there are several ardas each day rather than one. The sangat stands with folded hands, and it always closes with the same petition for the good of all. Through Sevahey you can request a preferred time, and your Sevak confirms the actual slot in the app when your name is presented in ardas.
The langar at Gurudwara Bangla Sahib serves free meals through the day rather than at a single sitting, and it is open to everyone regardless of religion, caste, gender, or means. The food is lacto-vegetarian and everyone sits together on the floor in pangat, the practice Guru Amar Das made a condition of approaching the Guru. Serving is heaviest around the main kirtan and on Gurpurabs. Through Sevahey, a langar seva contribution at Bangla Sahib is ₹899, offered in your name with video proof returned to you.
Gurudwara Bangla Sahib is known for its healing sarovar and for the story behind it: in 1664 the eighth Guru, Guru Har Krishan, then seven years old, tended Delhi's sick during a smallpox epidemic from Raja Jai Singh's bungalow on this site, and died of the disease himself. Devotees carry the sarovar's water home as amrit, and the Gurudwara's langar feeds an enormous number of people daily. With Sevahey, a verified Sevak offers your ardas there and sends same-day proof.
The name comes from the building that stood here: the bangla, or bungalow, of Raja Jai Singh of Amber, where Guru Har Krishan stayed during his visit to Delhi in 1664. The house became a place of worship because the Guru had lived in it, and Sardar Baghel Singh raised the shrine on the site in 1783.
Guru Har Krishan was the eighth Sikh Guru, born on 7 July 1656. He became Guru on 7 October 1661 at the age of five (the youngest of the ten Gurus) and died on 30 March 1664, aged seven and a half, of smallpox contracted while tending the sick in Delhi. Gurudwara Bangla Sahib stands where he stayed during that visit.
Raja Jai Singh built a tank over a well at his bungalow where Guru Har Krishan stayed in 1664, the same days the child Guru spent tending Delhi's sick during a smallpox epidemic. Devotees take the sarovar's water home as amrit for its healing properties, and many of the prayers offered at Bangla Sahib are asked for someone's recovery from illness.
Yes, and it is among the most common requests made there, the Gurudwara's association with Guru Har Krishan, who tended the sick of Delhi in 1664, is exactly why. Through Sevahey a verified Sevak presents the name of the person you are praying for in ardas at Bangla Sahib, from ₹251, and sends you photo, video, and audio proof the same day.
No. Gurudwara Bangla Sahib is one of the most revered historical gurudwaras in Delhi, but it is not a Takht. The five Takhts (Sikhism's seats of temporal authority) are the Akal Takht at Amritsar, Takht Sri Keshgarh Sahib at Anandpur Sahib, Takht Sri Patna Sahib, Takht Sachkhand Sri Hazur Sahib at Nanded, and Takht Sri Damdama Sahib at Talwandi Sabo. A verified Sevak can offer your ardas at Bangla Sahib or at any of the Takhts through Sevahey.
Yes. Gurudwaras are open to everyone regardless of religion, background, age, or sex, and no one is barred from entering. Bangla Sahib's langar serves free meals to all who sit down, and its hospital and diagnostic centre (which opened in March 2021 offering MRI scans at ₹50) serve the same principle of seva.
