Yesterday I visited the Rakab Ganj Gurudwara and found that it was the most spacious Gurudwaras located in the heart of Delhi just behind the parliament building.
The designs on the ceiling are breathtakingly beautiful.
The special feature is the Chandelier that was huge and glittering.
This is the place just below the main Gurugranth and has 3-4 staircases to access and take the Darshan.
The premises are all made in white marble that is a treat to the eyes providing a very soothing expereince.
The backside door is made of Silver.
This is the glorious view from the west side.
The main entrance to the Gurudwara has a hand wash area and a staircase with steel railings.
This is the amazing view of the marble structure from the southeast side.
While moving around I saw a huge branch falling off a tree. I have never seen such a huge branch before let alone falling off.
This is the view from the north side.
The Gurudwara Rakab Ganj has super spacious parking that is well-paved.
The shoe stand is huge and free. It is called Joda Ghar, where Joda means footwear.
Also near the entrance is an open Char-Khamba Pavillion.
The artwork on the walls of the pavilion is captivating.
Here cool water is served for everyone free of cost as part of the Seva by the Sikh community.
The Rakab Ganj Gurudwara in Delhi is drenched in peace and spirituality and brought much calm and peace to the mind.
How to Reach
I would have loved to reach there on my bike but it is now more than 20 years old and vehicles older than 15 years are not allowed on Delhi roads anymore.
So I took a metro from IFFCO Chowk in Gurugram on the Yellow Line and deboarded at Central Secretariat station in Delhi and took an AutoRickshaw for INR 50 to reach the Gurudwara.
Accessibility Features
The Gurudwara is fully accessible right from the entrance through its various parts.
There are spare wheelchairs available for those who need them.
Ramps are everywhere that can easily accommodate a wheelchair to be able to take the Darshan and also move around.
Here’s a snapshot

What Else To Do In Delhi
While you are in Delhi, these are the top-recommended places:
I did not have the prasad and langar as I think of it as more necessary for the hungry and the needful, so normally skip it after the Darshan.
