Gurdwara Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib at Garhmukteshwar




Located at Garhmukteshwar in Ghaziabad District, Gurdwara Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib is a historic shrine in Uttar Pradesh. It is believed that the ninth Sikh Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur, had sanctified this place with his presence. This is the place where the guru is said to have emancipated Raja Nakh who had been in the form of a snake by a curse from Rambha, an apsara.

Functioning under the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabhandak Committee, the Gurdwara observes the martyrdom day of Guru Tegh Bahadur with religious importance. Apart from this, thousands of devotees from every nook and corner of the region gather here on amavasya every month.

Indira Gandhi International Airport of Delhi is the nearest airport.
