History
Takhat Sachkhand Sri Hazur Abchal Nagar Sahib Gurudwara is one of the most important gurudwaras of the Sikhs where the ‘Takhat’ is located. The 10th guru of the Sikhs, Shri Guru Gobind Singhji, breathed his last on October 7, 1708. At the time of his death, Shri Guru Gobind Singhji asked for the Guru Granth Sahib to be installed there from then this came to be known as the ‘Takhat Sahib.’
The present building of the Takhat Sahib was built by Maharaja Ranjit Singh which took 5 years to complete (1832-1837). He used marble and gold plating to decorate the gurdwara during his reign. The complex of the Takhat Sahib is spread over several hectares. Besides the Takhat Sahib main shrine, it also includes two other shrines. The Bunga Mai Bhago Ji is a large room where the Guru Granth Sahib is seated, and some historical weapons are on display.
The inner room of the gurdwara is called the Angitha Sahib. It is built over the place where Guru Gobind Singh was cremated in 1708. This site is now one of the five Takht Sahibs which are places of primary importance to the Sikhs. In the two-storey building, the interiors are artistically ornamented. The walls have been covered with golden plates. The dome is made of gold-plated copper. Some of the sacred relics of Guru Gobind Singh are preserved here. These include a golden dagger, a matchlock gun, an archer with 35 arrows, two bows, a steel shield studded with precious stones, and five golden swords.
