Gurdwara Dam Dama Sahib

Gurdwara Dam Dama Sahib is located behind Humayun’s Tomb, near Nizamuddin in New Delhi. 

Guru Gobind Singh, the 10th and last prophet of Sikhs, left Punjab for South India on 21st October 1706. It is believed that when he reached Bhagaur in Raputana in March 1707, He was received by a special envoy from Prince Muazzam, requesting the Guru for political and moral support in the prince's battle for succession for the throne with his brother, after the death of Aurangzeb. 

Guru Sahib met the Prince near Humayun's Tomb in 1707, and together they drew up their strategy for battle. Guru Sahib promised to help the Prince if he would punish all those responsible for the treacherous killing of his sons and destroying his army and his city, Anandpur. Later, Guru Sahib helped the Prince defeat his brother and claim the throne. The place where Guru Gobind Singhji met with Prince Muazzam is where Gurdwara Dam Dama Sahib stands today.
