Gurudwara Pakki Sangat, Munger

It is believed that the father of Guru Govind Singh, Sri Teg Bahadur jee, the 9th Guru, in route to his journey to Assam to settle a dispute, had chosen to stay, at Munger in a temple on the Piparpanti road just opposite the Dak-Bungalow for a few days on Magh 1724 Vikrami. It was during his stay here that he got the news of the birth of Guru Gobind Singh. Raja Ram Singh was selected by Aurangzeb during his 10th year of his rule to lead a contingent of army to Assam, had met Guru Teg Bahadur at Munger. He requested the Guru Teg Bahadur to accompany him to Assam and he agreed to go there along with him. It is on record that from here he had written a letter to his wife, who was then at Patna awaiting the delivery of a son, who subsequently, became famous as Guru Gobind Singh jee. This temple converted into gurudwara is gaining importance for the local Sikh population. Its old building also damaged badly by the 1934 earthquake was, however, rebuilt within a year. It is a rectangular room with a verandah in front and is served by Brahman priests. Two relics, a cot and a pillow said to have been used by the Guru during his stay here, are kept in the same room where Guru Granth Sahib is seated.
