Takht "Sri Harimandir Sahib" is the principal shrine at Patna Sahib and one of the five Takhts or the highest seats of religious authority for the Sikhs. Takht Sri Harmandir Sahib Ji, Patna Sahib gurudwara is birth place of tenth sikh Guru Gobind Singh ji maharaj. Guru Gobind Singh ji was born here on the seventh day of the light half of the month of Poh in 1723 Bikrami corresponding to 22nd December 1666. He spent his early childhood here until his departure for the Punjab in 1670. The house continued to be maintained as a holy place of worship. Gurudwara is situated at the north-eastern part of patna at the bank of holy river ganga. Besides being the birthplace of Guru Gobind Singh, Patna was also honored by visits from Guru Nanak Dev ji as well as Guru Tegh Bahadur ji. Its building was replaced by Maharaja Ranjit Singh during 1837-39 with a square flat-roofed hail surrounded by a covered passage for circumambulation. Rulers of Patiala, Jind and Faridkot jointly added several rooms and a gateway to the compound in 1887. An earthquake in 1934 seriously damaged the older building of the Takht Sahib. At present, from widening off the streets to sprucing up the Ganga riverfront, the City is undergoing a massive facelift as a large number of pilgrims are expected here during the 350th birth anniversary celebrations of Guru Gobind Singh ji. The Bihar government has drawn up plans for grand celebrations in January 2017 to mark the historic occasion and is gearing up to put its best foot forward.
