The Place

  • Location: Patna, Patna, Bihar (25.5941°N, 85.201°E)

Sacred Narrative

Takht Śrī Patna Sāhib is the 3rd of the 5 Sikh Takhts — marking the birthplace of Gurū Gobind Singh Jī (22 December 1666 CE). The current gurdwara was built by Mahārāja Raṇjīt Singh (1839). Gobind Rai (as he was then known) spent his first 4 years here before the family moved to Anandpur. The gurdwara preserves relics: the Guru's sword, iron-arrows, and his small sandals. The annual Parkāsh Divas (December 22) draws 100,000 Sikh pilgrims.
