Takht Sri Hazur Sahib is located on the banks of the Godavari river at Nanded in the state of Maharashtra, Western India. This is where Guru Gobind Singh Ji left this world. It is one of the five 'takhts'(Seats of Temporal authority) in Sikhism. The inner room of the temple is called the Angitha Sahib and is built over the place where Guru Gobind Singh was cremated in 1708. Sikh historical records show that Guru Gobind Singh ordered his Sikhs not to create a monument to commemorate his leaving this world. Anyone who defied this order, their offspring would perish as a result. Maharaja Ranjit Singh ordered it's construction. It is indeed interesting that most of Maharaja Ranjit Singh's offspring experienced this fate, either through bad luck or unusual circumstances. The temple was finished in 1839, later that year Maharaja Ranjit Singh died.
