Behold the expansive architecture
Gurdwara Dukhnivaran Sahib, spread across a sprawling seven acres, offers a serene and expansive sight. The two-storied iron entry gate, with its cool black and white marble floor, leads to the main building along a pathway that passes the banyan tree where Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji meditated in solitude. The central building is also two-storied and features a domed pavilion on top, with curved-coping round sun-windows on each side. The pinnacled lotus dome on top is adorned with decorative domed pavilions at the corners and lotus blossoms on the walls. Inside, the floor is paved with white and grey marble slabs, contrasting with the black and white of the outer platform. The walls and pillars are panelled with white marble slabs, and the ceiling is adorned with floral stucco work. The Guru Granth Sahib is seated under a square canopy at the far end. The Langar Hall is located to the left, while a 75-meter square Sarovar is situated to the right.
Partake in the activities of faith
As a visitor to Gurudwara Dukhnivaran Sahib, regardless of your faith, you have every opportunity to participate in ‘kar serva’ or service, by volunteering to help others through activities such as handing out plates and cleaning the premises at the Langar Hall. Plan your visit to this Gurudwara during the festival of Basant Panchami, and witness the Gurudwara Dukhnivaran Sahib being beautifully decorated with lights and attracting a large number of devotees. The occasion is celebrated with great fervour and the Gurudwara is a sight to behold for you at night with the wonderful lights lighting up the entire complex.
