Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib - Located in the heart of Chandni Chowk, Delhi’s most popular marketplace, Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib is a historical shrine as it marks the exact site wherein 1675 Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth Sikh Guru, was mercilessly beheaded on orders by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb
The Sis Ganj Gurudwara is built in the Mughal architectural style with mesh-work windows, pavilions & parapets all in sandstone instead of the usual white marble like the other Gurudwaras. It is known to have served as a Mosque & a Gurudwara alternating itself owing to the sensitive political climate for a long time before finally being converted into a full-fledged Gurudwara with Gold-Gilded Domes In 1930.
It has a separate building that serves as the Langar (free kitchen) as well as accommodation for visitors & the homeless. It also houses relics from the Guru’s life, such as the well from where he drank while in prison there & the trunk of the tree under which he was executed.

The seventh city of Delhi might seem like an intricate labyrinth, but it harbours tasty surprises within its folds. The enticing scents of recipes passed down through generations will lure you, making you eager to sample the assortment of local snacks. Engage in a culinary adventure in the antiquities of Old Delhi with your companions. Consumption of just one delicacy can be habit-forming. As the day concludes, the longing may be so severe that you could experience faux withdrawal symptoms. Initiate your feast with ‘chaats’, for which employing a spoon might be advisable, although eating with your hand could result in irresistibly licking your fingers - ‘chaat’ translates to ‘to lick’, an aftermath commonly seen after relishing dishes like paani poori and papdi chaat. KFC, you are lagging by 400 years! But chaats are merely the warm-up. Our gastronomic endeavour will also encompass desserts, beverages, parathas, and more. As you traverse through the lanes of Old Delhi, not only savour the food but also soak in the profound history embodied in the ancient structures standing guard over the streets.
