Guru Gobind Singh (22 December 1666
– 7 October 1708), born Gobind Rai, was the tenth Sikh Guru, a spiritual
master, warrior, poet and philosopher. When his father, Guru Tegh Bahadur, was
beheaded for refusing to convert to Islam, Guru Gobind Singh was formally
installed as the leader of the Sikhs at age nine, becoming the tenth Sikh Guru.
His four sons died during his lifetime – two in battle, two executed by the
Mughal army.
Located in the town of Nanded, this is where Guru Gobind Singh breathed his last. The gurdwara also houses the mortal remains of the guru. This popular gurdwara is associated with the eighth Sikh guru, Guru Hari Krishan Sahib. It was originally a bungalow that belonged to Raja Jai Singh.
