عن Gurudwara Data Bandi Chhod Sahib

Gurudwara Data Bandi Chhod Sahib stands inside the outer wall of Gwalior Fort and marks the cell where the Sikh Guru Hargobind Sahib was imprisoned by the Mughal emperor Jahangir, an episode Persian-era chronicles including the Dabistan-i Mazahib place between roughly 1617 and 1619. The present complex, spread across six acres, was built in the 1970s and 1980s; the original marker on the site was a simple marble platform rather than a building. The main hall is faced in white marble with a gold-plated dome, following the architectural vocabulary shared by major Sikh gurudwaras across northern India rather than any local Gwalior building tradition, which makes the complex visually distinct from the sandstone monuments elsewhere on the fort ridge.

أفضل وقت في اليوم: Early morning before 08:00. Ahead of the fort's main monuments opening, or the evening ardas after 18:00.

تاريخ Gurudwara Data Bandi Chhod Sahib

Guru Hargobind Sahib, the sixth Sikh Guru, was imprisoned at Gwalior Fort by order of Emperor Jahangir; Persian court records place the detention between roughly 1617 and 1619, though Sikh tradition often gives 1609 as the year of his arrest at a younger age — a discrepancy sources do not fully resolve. The fort at the time already held 52 Hindu rajas whom Jahangir had imprisoned for defaulting on tribute, and Sikh tradition holds that when the emperor agreed to free the Guru, Guru Hargobind refused to leave unless the 52 rajas were released with him. The emperor's condition was that only those able to hold onto the Guru's cloak as he exited could go free, so a cloak was made with 52 tassels — one for each raja — allowing all of them to leave together. That release is commemorated across the Sikh world as Bandi Chhor Divas, observed on the same day as Diwali, and the Gwalior gurudwara is the pilgrimage site most directly tied to the historical event itself rather than to its annual commemoration elsewhere. The name 'Data Bandi Chhod' — 'the Giver who freed the prisoners' — refers to the Guru's role in that release.

القواعد والآداب في Gurudwara Data Bandi Chhod Sahib

Gurudwara Data Bandi Chhod Sahib asks all visitors, regardless of faith, to cover their head before entering the main hall — a cloth is provided free at the entrance for anyone without one — and to remove footwear at the shoe counter beside the gate. Shoulders and knees should be covered, and photography inside the main prayer hall is discouraged during kirtan and ardas, though it is generally permitted in the courtyard and outer areas. The gurudwara serves langar, a free communal meal, to any visitor regardless of religion or background; custom is to sit on the floor in the langar hall and return the used plate to the collection point rather than leaving it at the seating row. Entry and langar are both free, with donation boxes placed near the main hall for those who wish to contribute.

نصائح لزيارة Gurudwara Data Bandi Chhod Sahib

  1. 1

    Gurudwara Data Bandi Chhod Sahib is quieter in the early morning before the fort's main monuments open, making it a practical first stop for visitors planning to continue on to Man Mandir Palace and the Saas-Bahu Temples afterward. The gurudwara sits close enough to the fort's outer wall that a short walk connects the two without needing transport, though the exact path is easiest to confirm with the gatekeepers on arrival since it is not signposted from the main tourist road. Bandi Chhor Divas, the anniversary of Guru Hargobind's release, draws the largest crowds of the year and coincides with Diwali — visiting in the days immediately before or after avoids the heaviest congestion while still catching the decorated hall. The langar hall runs through the same hours as the gurudwara itself, so a visit can reasonably include a meal without prior arrangement.
