Gurudwara Majnu Ka Tilla

Gurudwara Majnu Da Tilla is named after an Iranian Sufi mystic Abdullah who was nicknamed as Majnu (one who is lost in love). Majnu lived in a small hut and sang the praises of God. He used to ferry people across the river Yamuna for free as a service to the almighty. He heard about Guru Nanak Dev Ji and wanted to have darshan. On 20 July 1505 AD, during morning Majnu got a chance to meet Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Guru Sahib stayed at this place till 31 july and while leaving Guru Nanak ji blessed Majnu fakir that this place will become famous with his name. So in the sacred memory of the saint, the shrine is known as Majnu Da Tilla (the hillock of Majnu).

In 1621 AD, emperor Jahangir invited Guru Hargobind Ji (the sixth guru) to Delhi. Guru Hargobind visited this holy place and stayed at Gurudwara Majnu Da Tilla during that time period.
