Gurudwara Bangla Sahib
Gurudwara Bangla sahib is located near Gole Dak-khana, about one kilometer from Connaught Place, New Delhi (http://www.indiabook.com/Regional/States/Delhi/).
This gurdwara is associated with the Sixth Guru, Shri Guru Harkishen Sahib Ji. Guru Sahib was summoned by the Mughal Emperor, Aurangzeb, on the complaint of his elder brother, Ram Rai. After first refusing to come to Delhi, the young Guru decided on the visit when Raja Jai Singh offered to take care of his security.
On reaching Delhi (http://www.indiabook.com/Regional/States/Delhi/), the Guru stayed at the bungalow of Raja Jai Singh, the present site of the Gurdwara. However, he steadfastly refused to meet Aurangzeb. During this time, a cholera and smallpox epidemic swept Delhi. Without heed to his health, Guru Harkrishen went about serving the poor and the needy. As if he took over the sickness of the people of Delhi on himself, he contracted smallpox and breathed his last in March, 1664.
Karsewa
The main building was constructed soon after partition in 1947. In 1976, Baba Harbans Singh Ji initiated karsewa work with commencement of construction of the Sarovar and a beautiful building has been constructed
