Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Interesting Sikh temple

Nov 2024 • Friends

Access to the Sikh temple has rules. You enter barefoot, socks or shoes are not allowed so it is recommended to have wipes to clean yourself at the exit. The garment must also be covered for men, at the entrance there are scarves / bandanas available to everyone. Complete these formalities you arrive at the main building, undoubtedly beautiful and with golden decorations, like the interior where you can not photograph. You are enraptured by the celebrations and the faithful very involved. Adjacent to the temple is the Sarovar, or the sacred pool that looks almost more like a pond given its surface. Very interesting is the part of the kitchens and canteen where Langar is practiced, or the distribution of meals for free to anyone who wanted it. Absolutely worth seeing.

Impressive place of worship.

Dec 2024 • Family

Very special, barefoot, socks and shoes must be taken of, your head must be covered, then you walk through water into the temple while there are lots op people worshipping. You are not allowed to take pictures unfortunately, but is very special. Once outside you see the pond, where large fish swim, but people also do a little ritual. Very special.
Afterwords we visited the kitchen where 15.000 people are being fed each day.

Visit a Sikh temple

Mar 2024 • Couples

The Gurdwara Bangla Sahib is the largest Sikh temple in New Delhi. It is located slightly south of Connaught Place in central New Delhi. Entrance is of course free. Men and women must cover their heads, wear pants and wear decent clothing. Leather items are prohibited. You have to take off your shoes and socks to walk on the temple floor.

Bandanas or other pieces of fabric are available free of charge at the entrances to the temple to cover yourself, there is no need to buy a fortune for those that are sold around the temple. You must leave your shoes in the locker room in the basement of the temple, also free of charge.

Once ready, a visit to the temple is possible, photos are prohibited. Musicians play continuously and it is possible to come and soak up the Sikh fervor there. Don't miss a visit to the langar, or refectory where 50,000 meals are served every day.

Finally, don't forget to go see the pool blessed by the eighth Guru which is still venerated by the faithful. Allow a good hour to visit everything and take the time to soak up the very special atmosphere. A place with a lot of people.

Sikh Temple

Dec 2024 • Friends

Sikh Temple – Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, it is absolutely fantastic to see the capacity of devotion and respect in this place. Mandatory entering barefoot and covered hair. Inside we can see thousands of devotees making a meal offered. The smell is intense for an European and can shock the most sensitive.

The main Sikh temple in Delhi

Sept 2024 • Couples

Vast Sikh complex that in addition to the classic temple (already large in its own right, which also contains a large swimming pool) incorporates a school, library, museum, hospital and kitchen, which every day offers free meals to anyone. The temple was erected in the 18th century (with subsequent interventions in the 20th century), in place of a previous building in which the eighth Sikh guru Har Krishan had stayed about a century earlier: for this reason this temple has a high symbolic value for devotees, as well as being the main Sikh place of worship in Delhi. Surely the temple has a majestic appearance (especially when you look at it from the pool side), interesting for its architecture and decoration, but what struck me was the colorful and varied crowd of people who frequent it, the continuous coming and going and the frenzy that, outside, surrounds it. To enter the temple, even in the only external area of relevance, you have to cover your head and go barefoot (so much for hygiene conditions; but you only have to see how the drinking water is served and clean the glasses on the fly to realize that here in India Western standards are far, far away).

The Nine Test on the Spirituality of the Sikh Religion

Nov 2024 • Friends

After visiting the temple, barefoot and with his head covered, and after enjoying the lunch offered by the generosity of the faithful of the Sikh religion, in the strong emotion I felt I lost my wallet: I was on the first day of my trip and my wallet was full of rupees and euros to spend 15 days in India, as well as my credit card and documents.
When I came out of the temple, I realized the bewilderment, I returned and in an office at the entrance of the kitchens, the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee returned it to me intact and with a smile. How true is the spirituality of this religion I have experienced for myself and wish to witness it.

Gurudwara Bangla Sahib is the most prominent Sikh house - Pradip Madgaonkar

Oct 2024 • Couples

Delhi is a city of contrasts, where the old and the new coexist in harmony. The city is home to many historical monuments and cultural landmarks, that reflect the rich and diverse heritage of India. Among these, there is one place that stands out for its spiritual significance and architectural beauty: the Bangla Sahib Gurudwara.Gurudwara Bangla Sahib is the most prominent Sikh house of worship in Delhi. It was first built as a small shrine in 1783 to honour the eighth Sikh Guru, Guru Har Krishan. The gurdwara stands on the site where Guru Hari Krishan, the eighth of 10 Sikh gurus who lived between 1469 and 1708, performed a small miracle.

Stunning place to visit

Aug 2024 • Couples

We were absolutely blown away by this Sikh temple, if you visit Dehli it is an absolute must to visit here. We had initially looked at doing this as a trip but when we arrived in Dehli we realised it was a 2 minute walk from our hotel so just walked there ourselves. We knew we would need to have our heads, legs and shoulders covered so went prepared with a t-shirt covering my arms, bought a head scarf in chandi chowk and wore a long skirt.

When we arrived there was a service taking place, we respectively took off our shoes and washed before entering. Although I had a long skirt on they provided me with trousers underneath. My husband was provided with a headscarf too. Women are expected to have their heads covered as soon as they enter the grounds of the temple, I was unaware of this and thought it was inside the temple only. A lovely woman stopped me to tell me to do this.

The Guru Granth Sahib was placed at the front of the temple, we entered and spent a moment taking in the atmosphere, we respectively bowed to the scriptures and walked around it. There were many Sikhs worshipping, the service can take place over a
Number of hours so people come and go all day. Pictures are not allowed to be taken inside.

When we went to collect our belonging the lovely lady asked if we would like a tour of the kitchen. We gladly accepted. The kitchen feeds up to 40 000 people a day and everyone is welcome to eat for free, there is no judgement here and people from all ethnicities, religions and hierarchy can all eat for free. Shame we missed the sitting. When we entered the kitchen we were given the opportunity to roll out some chapatis. We were blown away by the their hospitality.

Would highly reccomend everyone to go here

Jul 2023 • Family

I often visit the Gurudwara and highly recommend others to go and pray there. Since it is a holy place, I suggest praying for your and your family's health and well-being. Additionally, I request everyone to cover their heads with a scarf and wear long pants to show respect to the Gurudwara.

This is a beautiful Sikh temple which we enjoyed visiting. Sit for a while and take in the ambience and enjoy the beauty of the architecture and spiritual energy. The community kitchen was lovely to visit and watch volunteers preparing the lungar foods.
