Hazur Sahib

Hazur Sahib, formally Takht Sachkhand Sri Hazur Abchalnagar Sahib, stands on the bank of the Godavari in Nanded, Maharashtra, and is one of the five takhts, the seats of authority in Sikhism. Maharaja Ranjit Singh built the gurdwara between 1832 and 1837 on the place where Guru Gobind Singh died. Its inner room, the Angitha Sahib, is built over the spot where the Guru was cremated in 1708.

The Guru had camped here in 1708, holding court with his followers, when two would-be assassins attacked him. His deep wound was stitched by a surgeon sent by Bahadur Shah I and began to heal, but it reopened days later as he strung a bow, and he passed away after naming the Guru Granth Sahib his successor. Priests conduct services in the outer room, while the inner vault keeps the Guru's weapons and belongings and only the head priest may enter.
