Gurudwara Majnu ka Tila Sahib is situated on the right bank of the River Yamuna on the Grand Trunk Road in the Timarpur region of Delhi. It commemorates the visit of Guru Nanak, the first Guru and founder of the Sikh religion, to Delhi in the early 15th century.

The legend has it that this particular Gurudwara was named after a Muslim hermit or Sufi saint. He used to reside here in a humble cottage during the reign of Emperor Sikander Lodhi. He was nicknamed 'Majnu' because of his uncompromising love for Allah. When Guru Nanak visited Delhi he had a religious discourse with that blessed hermit. During the discourses, Guru Nanak Ji resided in his hermitage. This hermitage was located on the hillock (Tila) and thus came to be known as Majnu Ka Tila. Later Guru Har Gobind, the sixth guru of Sikhs, visited the site on the invitation of Mogul Emperor Jahangir.

For many years there was a small cottage on this site that also served as gurudwara at times. However a large gurudwara was built on this site in later years. This gurudwara is made of white marble and has a cusped dome and looks very beautiful when well lit at night.
