Gurudwara Bangla Sahib
Gurudwara Bangla Sahib is Delhi's most prominent Sikh gurdwara, built around a house where the eighth Sikh Guru, Har Krishan, stayed in the 17th century, centered on a large sarovar (holy tank) whose water is believed by devotees to have healing properties. Like other major gurdwaras, it runs a continuous free community kitchen (langar) serving thousands of meals daily.
It's open around the clock and remains active with devotional singing throughout the day, and visitors of any background are welcome, provided they cover their heads, remove shoes, and dress modestly. Given its central location near Connaught Place, it's an easy and highly recommended stop on almost any Delhi itinerary.
