One of Delhi's nine ancient Gurdwaras is Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib. It was initially built in 1783 by Baghel Singh as a modest shrine to honour the place of Guru Tegh Bahadur's death, the ninth Sikh Guru. It was most likely extended during the Indian Rebellion of 1857 or after India's partition. This location served as the Mughal Kotwali (Police Station and Jail) before to development. The Mughal Kotwali was destroyed by the British after the Indian Rebellion of 1857, and the territory was granted to the Sikhs since the Maharaja of Patiala and other Sikh warriors assisted the British in defeating the Mughal army by giving a sizable number of men and weapons.
The contractor Rai Bahadur Narain Singh, who constructed the majority of the roadways in Lutyens New Delhi during British rule, was responsible for the erection of the existing structure. It is located in Old Delhi's Chandni Chowk and commemorates the location of the ninth Sikh Guru's beheading on November 11, 1675, at the behest of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. The Indian army's Sikh unit salutes the Sis Ganj Gurudwara twice in the Republic Day parade—the only other time this has happened since 1979—before saluting the president of India.
