Darbar Sahib refers to the main hall within a Sikh gurdwara. This hall is where the current and perpetual Guru of the Sikhs, the Guru Granth Sahib is placed on a takhat or throne in a prominent central position in the hall.

The Darbar Sahib may also be used to refer explicitly to the inner sanctum of the Harimandir Sahib.
