The Gurdwara Sis Ganj is located on the main Chandni Chowk near the historic Red Fort. This is one of the most revered pilgrimages of the Sikh community. It commemorates the site where on the orders of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, Guru Tegh Bahadur; the ninth guru of the Sikhs was beheaded. He was martyred here in 1675 under a banyan tree.

The main structure of the Gurudwara is a large open hall. This is very spacious and has a bronze canopy in the middle under which, the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy book of Sikhs is kept. The Guru Granth Sahib is covered with a large red tunic cloth and garlands. At night, the book is ceremonially carried to a special room in the gurudwara. Here it is kept in a transparent and well-lit glass chamber for the visitors. The book is kept there in a special-resting closet. It is surrounded by the pieces of tree trunk of the same banyan tree under which the Guru was martyred. There is also an enclosed structure where the guru was held prisoner before being executed.

Throughout the day religious hymns called Gurbani are sung near the golden canopy. The prayer is followed by the distribution of Karah, a delicacy cooked of wheat and ghee as blessing from the martyred Guru. A very important feature of all the gurudwaras is their community kitchens (Guru ka Langar). The 'Pangat' system opposes discrimination based on caste and stress the concept of equality. Don't miss to catch any of these feasts where the food is truly pure and delicious.
