Have a verified Sevak offer your ardas at Takht Sri Damdama Sahib, and receive same-day proof.
Takht Sri Damdama Sahib at Talwandi Sabo, in Bathinda district of Punjab, is the Takht of the book. Guru Gobind Singh came here after the campaigns of 1705, and the name records what he did on arriving: damdama means a breathing-place, a halt. He stayed, and during that stay the final recension of the Sikh scripture was prepared, the Guru dictating and Bhai Mani Singh writing, with the hymns of the ninth Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur, added to the volume Guru Arjan had compiled a century earlier at Amritsar.
That volume is the Damdami Bir, and it is the recension of 1,430 angs that Sikhs read, sing, and bow before today. For the work done here the Guru blessed Talwandi Sabo as Guru ki Kashi (Kashi being Varanasi, the old seat of Sanskrit scholarship) meaning this would be a seat of Sikh learning. The town has kept that character; it is a place associated with the study of Gurbani rather than with a battle.
Damdama Sahib is the most recently recognised of the five Takhts. The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee passed the resolution on 18 November 1966, and the Government of India recognised it in April 1999, during the tercentenary of the Khalsa. That recognition is not universally accepted, the Budha Dal of the Akali-Nihang Sikhs maintains that its own seat should hold the fifth place.
The Takht draws its largest sangat at Vaisakhi, when a great fair gathers at Talwandi Sabo. With Sevahey, a verified Sevak offers your ardas at Takht Sri Damdama Sahib on your behalf and sends back proof the same day, so your prayer reaches Guru ki Kashi even when you cannot travel to Bathinda.

A Takht is a seat of temporal authority, not simply a large gurudwara. Damdama Sahib's place among the five is contested: the SGPC recognised it in 1966 and the Government of India in 1999, while the Budha Dal holds that its own seat should hold the fifth place.

Takht Sri Damdama Sahib at Talwandi Sabo in Punjab is one of the five Takhts of Sikhism, the seats of temporal authority. It is where Guru Gobind Singh had the final recension of the Guru Granth Sahib prepared, and where he blessed the town as Guru ki Kashi, a seat of Sikh learning. With Sevahey, a verified Sevak offers your ardas there and sends same-day proof.
Takht Sri Damdama Sahib is at Talwandi Sabo in Bathinda district, Punjab. Its address is Takht Sri Damdama Sahib, Talwandi Sabo, Bathinda, Punjab 151302. It is one of three Takhts in Punjab, along with the Akal Takht at Amritsar and Takht Sri Keshgarh Sahib at Anandpur Sahib.
Damdama means a breathing-place or halting-place. Guru Gobind Singh arrived at Talwandi Sabo after the campaigns of 1705 and rested here, and the name records that pause. The stay turned into the most consequential literary work in Sikh history, the preparation of the final recension of the Guru Granth Sahib.
The Damdami Bir is the final recension of the Guru Granth Sahib, prepared at Damdama Sahib in Talwandi Sabo. Guru Gobind Singh dictated it to Bhai Mani Singh, adding the hymns of the ninth Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur, to the scripture Guru Arjan had compiled at Amritsar in 1604. It runs to 1,430 angs and is the version Sikhs read today.
Bhai Mani Singh was the scribe. Guru Gobind Singh dictated the final recension of the Guru Granth Sahib to him at Talwandi Sabo, incorporating the hymns of Guru Tegh Bahadur. The Guru did not add his own compositions to the scripture, which is one reason the Damdami Bir is regarded as the settled and complete text.
Guru Gobind Singh blessed Talwandi Sabo as Guru ki Kashi because of the scriptural work done there, Kashi, or Varanasi, being the traditional seat of Sanskrit learning. The name marks Damdama Sahib as a seat of Sikh scholarship, and the town remains associated with the study of Gurbani rather than with a battlefield.
The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee recognised Takht Sri Damdama Sahib as the fifth Takht by a resolution of 18 November 1966, and the Government of India recognised it in April 1999 during the tercentenary of the Khalsa. It is the most recently recognised of the five, and the recognition is contested, the Budha Dal of the Akali-Nihang Sikhs holds that its own seat should be the fifth Takht instead.
Takht Sri Damdama Sahib at Talwandi Sabo is one of the five Takhts of Sikhism, alongside the Akal Takht at Amritsar, Takht Sri Keshgarh Sahib at Anandpur Sahib, Takht Sri Patna Sahib, and Takht Sachkhand Sri Hazur Sahib at Nanded. The Akal Takht is the first and highest of the five; Damdama Sahib was the last to be recognised.
Gurudwaras, including Takht Sri Damdama Sahib, are generally open through the day and welcome anyone regardless of faith. The day is set by the Guru Granth Sahib, not by fixed shop hours: prakash, when the scripture is installed, happens in Amrit Vela (roughly the hours between 2 and 6 in the morning) and sukhasan, when it is carried to rest, at night. Those points shift with the season, so confirm the day's schedule with the Takht before travelling. Your Sevahey Sevak times your seva to that day's actual schedule and confirms the slot in the app.
Vaisakhi is the largest gathering of the year at Takht Sri Damdama Sahib, when a great fair draws sangat to Talwandi Sabo. It is also the festival at which the Nishan Sahib, the Sikh flag flying outside the Gurudwara, is lowered, washed, and re-robed each year. You can request that your ardas be offered on Vaisakhi when you book through Sevahey.
