The Gurdwara Rakab Ganj Sahib is historic gurdwara near Parliament House in New Delhi. It was built in 1783, after Sikh military leader Baghel Singh (1730-1802) captured Delhi, on 11 March 1783, and his brief stay in Delhi, lead to the construction of several Sikh religious shrines within the city. This one marks the site of cremation of ninth Sikh Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur, after his execution in November, 1675, under orders of Aurangzeb.
