Gurdwara Bangla Sahib

This guide to Gurdwara Bangla Sahib in Delhi follows Guru Har Krishan, the eighth Sikh Guru, who arrived in the city in 1664 as a seven-year-old summoned to the emperor's court. While epidemics tore through Delhi's poor quarters, he set up in this compound and began treating the sick himself at a well in the courtyard, giving away the food, medicine and clothing meant for his own treasury. It's a guide about a child who chose to walk toward a plague instead of staying indoors, and the well that still draws pilgrims here.
