Gurudwara Sisganj Sahib

This guide to Gurudwara Sisganj Sahib in Delhi follows Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth Sikh Guru, who traveled to Delhi after Kashmiri Pandits begged him to stand against Aurangzeb's campaign of forced conversions. It follows his arrest at the old kotwali near this spot, and the killing of his three companions in front of him, one by one, each death meant to make him yield. A Sikh general named Baghel Singh built this shrine on the exact spot over a century later — look for the kotwali's old location just steps from where you're standing.
