One of Delhi's most prominent Sikh houses of worship, known for its golden dome and tall flagpole; it was originally a mansion of Raja Jai Singh I, rebuilt as a small shrine in 1783, and is linked with the eighth Sikh Guru, Guru Har Krishan. At the heart of the complex is a large pool called the Sarovar, reflecting the white building and its golden dome, and visitors walk around it on marble floors in a calm atmosphere carried by devotional hymns. What strikes visitors most is the community kitchen, the langar, where volunteers serve free vegetarian meals to thousands of people every day, of every faith and background, sitting together on the floor in long rows; you can also visit the kitchen and watch the food being made. Entry is free and it's open all day; covering your head, removing shoes and washing your feet are required, and head scarves are provided at the entrance. It's a short walk from Connaught Place.
