Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib is built at the site in the Chandni Chowk area of Old Delhi, where the ninth Sikh Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur was beheaded on the orders of the Mughal emperor in 1675 A.D., Aurangzeb for refusing to convert to Islam. Before his body could be quartered and exposed to public view, it was stolen under the cover of darkness by one of his disciples, Lakhi Shah Vanjara, who then burnt his house to cremate the Guru's body.
This place is marked by another Gurdwara, Gurdwara Rakab Ganj Sahib. The severed head ('Sis') of Guru Tegh Bahadur was brought to Anandpur Sahib by Bhai Jaita, another disciple of the Guru. It was cremated by the Guru's son, Gobind Rai, who became Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth and last Guru, in human form, of the Sikhs.
The Gurdwara at Anandpur Sahib is also called Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib.
