Gurudwara Data Bandi Chhor Sahib
गुरुद्वारा दाता बंदी छोड़
A Sikh gurdwara within Gwalior Fort, commemorating the story of the sixth Sikh Guru, Hargobind, who secured the release of 52 princes from captivity.
The gurdwara was built in the 20th century, south of Gwalior Fort near the Teli Mandir. It commemorates how Guru Hargobind, the sixth Sikh Guru, was imprisoned in this fort by the Mughal Emperor Jahangir in 1619. When he was released, he insisted on taking with him the 52 princes who had been held there alongside him. The white marble hall has a golden dome and is open free of charge, with free meals (langar) served. Visitors must remove their shoes and cover their heads, and head coverings are available on site.
