Alambagh Gurudwara, also known as Gurudwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha Alambagh, is an important Sikh religious site located in the Alambagh area of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. This sacred place holds deep spiritual as well as historical significance and is closely associated with the events of the 1857 First War of Indian Independence.
The Gurudwara commemorates the stay of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the tenth Sikh Guru, who is believed to have visited this area during his travels. Because of this association, the site is highly revered by Sikh devotees. Over time, a beautiful Gurudwara was established here to honor the Guru’s visit and teachings. The calm and peaceful atmosphere of Alambagh Gurudwara makes it a place for prayer, reflection, and inner peace.
Architecturally, the Gurudwara reflects traditional Sikh design with a white façade, domes, and a prominent Nishan Sahib (Sikh flag). Inside, the Guru Granth Sahib is placed with great respect, and daily prayers (Nitnem), Kirtan, and religious discourses are conducted. Devotees from different faiths visit the Gurudwara to seek blessings, showcasing the Sikh principle of equality and universal brotherhood.
Alambagh Gurudwara also plays a significant role during Sikh festivals such as Gurpurab, when the birth anniversaries of Sikh Gurus are celebrated with great devotion. On these occasions, the Gurudwara is beautifully decorated, and special prayers and processions are organized. The tradition of Langar (community kitchen) is an integral part of the Gurudwara, where free meals are served to all visitors without discrimination.
Today, Alambagh Gurudwara stands not only as a religious place but also as a symbol of faith, sacrifice, and unity. It is an important spiritual attraction in Lucknow, drawing devotees, history enthusiasts, and tourists alike.
