The Place
- Location: Nanded, Nanded, Maharashtra (19.15°N, 77.3°E)
Sacred Narrative
Takht Hazūr Sāhib at Nanded — 4th of the 5 Sikh Takhts — marks where Gurū Gobind Singh took his final breath on 7 October 1708, after being stabbed by a Pathan assassin. Before his end, the Guru declared the Gurū Granth Sāhib as the eternal Guru of the Sikhs, ending the line of human Gurus. The gurdwara has been the Deccan-Sikh stronghold since. Unique: the tradition here preserves Hazoor Sahib's Dasam Granth maryada (distinct from Akāl Takht's), with Hindu-influenced rituals (aarati, ghaṇṭī).
