Pilgrims from all over the country visit this Gurdwara to pay homage to sikh Guru Hargobind.
I went to Gwalior fort and came to know about this Gurudwara which is near to the Scindia school. Around 1 pm, I reached near the entrance of Gurudwara. I was carrying a big rucksack with me. An old man came to me and asked where I was from. He asked me to go to langar and have prasad. I had prasad at the Langar. Later in the afternoon it started raining heavily. The old man informed about the availability of rooms at the Gurudwara premise. I had no place to go so I preferred to stay in the Gurudwara instead of going to Hotel. The rain stopped in evening and I went for a walk towards the Manmandir palace. It was a beautiful evening. I returned to Gurudwara and helped in the kitchen. It was my first experience of serving food at Langar.
After having dinner I sat with other sikh pilgrims who were staying at the dharamshala in Gurudwara. There was very heavy rain that night. Next day in the morning I left the place and went to roam around the city.
Memories of my experience of staying in Gurudwara will stay with me forever. The kind and nice people I met, the prasad food and the beauty of the gurudwara is what made it an unforgettable experience.
