In earlier times, all Sikh warriors went here to seek blessings before going to the battlefield. Guru Ji wore two swords of Miri and Piri at Akal Takht Sahib and commanded the Sikhs to bring weapons &amp; horses as offerings. He also asked them to be both saints and soldiers. The Akal Takht is one of the oldest of the Five Takhats.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Takht_Patna_Sahib_Bihar\"><\/span><strong>Takht Patna Sahib (Bihar)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3652\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pilgrimagetour.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Takht-Patna-Sahib.jpeg\" alt=\"Takht Patna Sahib\" width=\"900\" height=\"552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pilgrimagetour.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Takht-Patna-Sahib.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/www.pilgrimagetour.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Takht-Patna-Sahib-300x184.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.pilgrimagetour.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Takht-Patna-Sahib-768x471.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.pilgrimagetour.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Takht-Patna-Sahib-696x427.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/www.pilgrimagetour.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Takht-Patna-Sahib-685x420.jpeg 685w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Takht Patna Sahib is located in Patna, Bihar.

It is one of the five Takhts or seats of the Sikh religion.<\/p>\n<p>In 1699, it was the eve of Baisakhi Day (13th April) when people were gathered at the Fort of Keshgarh Sahib to celebrate Baisakhi. When Guru Gobind Singh Ji along with his sword in his hand addressed the gathering and said that they are all dear to Him, He went ahead of devotees and asked people to volunteer. At that moment, Daya Ram (Bhai Daya Singh), the Khatri of Lahore, aroused and offered himself to the Guru. Guru Gobind Singh Ji came back with his sword dripping blood and demanded another head. At this time Dharam Das (Bhai Dharam Singh), a Chamar from Hastinapur presented himself to the Guru. Similarly, the other three i.e. Himmat Rai (Bhai Himmat Singh), Mohkam Chand (Bhai Mohkam Singh), and Sahib Chand (Bhai Sahib Singh) volunteered their heads to Guru.<\/p>\n<p>After that, when Guru Ji came out, the disciples wore saffron-coloured raiment topped over with neatly tied turbans of the same colour. Guru Gobind Singh Ji was similarly dressed up and He introduced His chosen Sikhs to the audience (the Sangat) as Panj Pyare, the five devoted spirits of the beloved of the Guru.<\/p>\n<p>He performed the ceremony of preparing the holy water (known as Khande Di Pahul), as He kept churning it with khanda, i.e. double-edged sword while reciting over the sacred verses. The Guru himself took the \u201cAmrit\u201d from the Panj Pyaras, removing the distinction between himself and followers. Guru Gobind Rai became Guru Gobind Singh on that day. This ceremony gave followers of Guru Ji a new identity- that is to prepare the Sikhs for their struggle against the Mughal State and influence the future of the country.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Takht_Damdama_Sahib_Talwandi_Sabo\"><\/span><strong>Takht Damdama Sahib (Talwandi Sabo)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3649\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pilgrimagetour.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Takht-Damdama-Sahib.jpg\" alt=\"Takht Damdama Sahib\" width=\"900\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pilgrimagetour.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Takht-Damdama-Sahib.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.pilgrimagetour.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Takht-Damdama-Sahib-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pilgrimagetour.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Takht-Damdama-Sahib-768x445.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pilgrimagetour.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Takht-Damdama-Sahib-696x404.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pilgrimagetour.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Takht-Damdama-Sahib-724x420.jpg 724w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Takht Shri Damdama Sahib is located in the village of Talwandi Sabo near Bathinda, Punjab.
