Gudwara Patna Sahib

Ha. Forgot to upload some pictures!

These are from a Sikh temple in Patna. It was the birthplace of the tenth Guru, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji who was born on December 22, 1666. It was also visited by the first and ninth Gurus and the commandment of valiance and fearlessness was issued from this place to the Sikh fraternity. (Citation!)


The service that was going on while we were visiting. Two men were sitting behind the fenced area reading from the texts.


Palace exit & good wishes :)


Pretty window!


I liked the contrast between the hanging clothes and pink archway against the white. :)




On the way back through the market...



Madhubani artwork is famous in Bihar. I took these clandestine photos in a shop selling Madhubani silk for saaris.
