Takhat Sri Hazur Sahib

From SikhiPedia

Takhat Sri Hazur Sahib is a Sikh temple located on the banks of the River Godavari 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 Ji was cremated in 1708.

The Takhat houses both the Guru Granth Sahib Ji and the Dasam Granth Sahib. This follows the pattern of Takhat Patna Sahib as well. The prakash of both Granths take place as per the original Khalsa traditions, but is in violation of Akal Takhat Hukumnamas. This tradition is continued by the Akali Nihang Singhs and the Damdami Taksal.

Some claim this Gurdwara remains untouched by the reforms brought by the Singh Sabha Movement
