Bhai Dharam Singh Gurudwara - History, Timings & Entry Fee

At a distance of 4 km from Hastinapur Bus Station, Bhai Dharam Singh Gurudwara is a sacred place located in Hastinapur, Uttar Pradesh. Situated at Saifpur village, it is regarded as one of the holiest pilgrim centers for the Sikh community in India, and among the top places to visit as part of Hastinapur packages.

Bhai Dharam Singh Gurudwara is dedicated to Bhai Dharam Singh, one of the five Sikhs of Panj Piare who created the first batch of Khalsa and received the Khanda di Pahul or the rites of the two-edged sword from Guru Gobind Singh. According to legend, it is believed that Bhai Dharam Singh had been a farmer when he answered a request of Guru Gobind Rai, which made him become one of the Panj Piare (the Five Beloved), the first five Sikhs to be initiated into the Khalsa. He died at Gurudwara Nanded Sahib in 1708 at the age of 42.

Bhai Dharam Singh Gurudwara is known for its beautiful architecture, spacious interiors, peaceful, divine, and calm environment and stands as a true epitome of Sikh culture. The Gurudwara is not too crowded and a half-hour visit could be very refreshing. Anyone can sit for hours and listen to the soothing Amrit Vaani and the ragas (melody) of the Raagis, who recite, sing and explain the verses from the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy book of the Sikhs. There is langar, free community kitchen, where one can eat and can also do Seva in the form of serving food.
