About History of the Temple
Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib is one of the most important historical Sikh shrines in Delhi. It marks the site where the ninth Sikh Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, was beheaded in 1675 under the orders of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji sacrificed his life to protect religious freedom and the rights of Kashmiri Pandits who were facing forced conversions.
After the execution, Bhai Jaita Ji courageously carried the severed head (Sis) of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji to Anandpur Sahib, where Guru Gobind Singh Ji performed the last rites. The place where the Guru’s head fell came to be known as ‘Sis Ganj’.
The present Gurdwara was constructed in the 18th century by Sikh devotees and has since been renovated several times. Today, Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib stands as a powerful symbol of sacrifice, courage, and the defense of human rights. Thousands of devotees from India and around the world visit the Gurdwara every year to pay their respects.
