From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Takht Sri Hazur Sahib is a Sikh temple located on the banks of the Godavari river at the city of Nanded in the state of Maharashtra, Western India. The structure is built at the location 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 would suffer the death of his/her offspring. Interestingly, Maharaja Ranjit Singh ordered its construction and most of Maharaja Ranjit Singh's offspring died, either through bad luck or unusual circumstances. The temple was finished in 1839, later that year Maharaja Ranjit Singh died.
