The museum showcases various personal belongings, photographs, and exhibits that chronicle Gandhi’s life, his philosophy of non-violence, and his role in India’s struggle for independence.

This ancient structure, believed to date back to the 14th century and attributed to the legendary king Agrasen, is an architectural marvel that showcases the engineering prowess of ancient India. The stepwell, which descends to a depth of approximately 60 meters, features 108 steps that lead down to the water reservoir, flanked by intricately carved stone walls and arched niches. The structure’s three levels, with progressively narrowing steps, create a dramatic visual effect and offer a cool respite from the city’s heat.

Gurudwara Bangla Sahib is one of the most prominent Sikh gurdwaras, or Sikh houses of worship, in New Delhi, India. It is known for its beautiful golden dome and pristine white façade. Originally a bungalow belonging to Raja Jai Singh, a 17th-century Indian ruler, it became a place of worship in memory of Guru Har Krishan, the eighth Sikh Guru, who stayed there during his visit to Delhi in 1664. The Guru is said to have provided aid and fresh water from the well at this site to help the sick during a smallpox and cholera epidemic, and the well’s water is now considered to have healing properties.
The complex includes the main prayer hall, a holy tank (Sarovar), a museum, and a library. The gurdwara is open to people of all faiths and is known for its langar (community kitchen) that serves free meals to thousands of visitors daily. The serene ambiance, devotional music (kirtan), and the sense of community service make Gurudwara Bangla Sahib a place of spiritual solace and reflection.
