Gurudwara Majnu Ka Tila
Gurudwara Majnu Ka Tila: This shrine is also dedicated to Guru Nanak who hallowed this place during his visit to Delhi in the 15th century. The small structure was expanded in the 1980s to a larger white marble structure with a cusped dome, which is planned to be covered with gold leaf work later. The interesting story of this Gurdwara talks about a Muslim hermit, who lived on this hillock during the reign of Sikander Lodhi and used to row people across River Yamuna free of charge. He so yearned for the glimpse of God that the local people called him ‘Majnu’. It is said that he finally attained enlightenment by the blessings of Guru Nanak and became his devout disciple. Since then, his hermitage came to be known as Majnu ka Tila. The devout love of Majnu towards God and his radiant spirit attracted people, who built this shrine to commemorate him and Guru Nanak. On Baisakhi every year, a ‘langar’ is arranged here for all to celebrate the birth of Khalsa.
