Gurdwara Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji - Gaya is an ancient Hindu pilgrimage center on the bank of Phalgu River, a tributary of the Ganges, where the pilgrims go to have worship and ceremony conducted by local priests for the benefit of their ancestors. Guru Nanak Dev and Guru Tegh Bahadur visited it and tried to explain to the people that it was one's own good actions during the life-span on this earth and not the rituals of one's descendants that would benefit a departed soul. Gurdwara Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji near Vishnupad is controlled by Udasi priests. As in Gurdwara Chacha Phaggu Mal at Sasaram, here too three copies of Guru Granth sahib in Gurmukhi and Devnagri script are seated side by side in a rectangular pavilion on a raised platform.
