'''Gurdwara Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib''' - This famous Gurudwara is situated in the heart of the {{wiki|Dhubri}} Town on the bank of the mighty Brahmaputra river in far north-east [[India]]. [[Guru Nanak]] the first [[Sikh Guru]] visited this place in 1505 and met {{wiki|Srimanta Sankardeva}} (the founder of the {{wiki|Mahapuruxiya Dharma}}) as the Guru travelled from {{wiki|Dhaka}} to {{wiki|Assam}}.  

This historic shrine, Sri Gurdwara Guru Tegh Bahadur or Damdama Sahib at Dhubri in Assam was built in memory of the visit of [[Guru Nanak]]. Hence it has great importance for Sikh community. [[Guru Tegh Bahadur]] established this [[Gurdwara]] during his 17th century visit to the area. Sikh devotees from all over [[India]] and the world assemble in this [[Gurdwara]] every year in the month of December to mark the [[martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur]] with due solemnity and ceremony. Sikh devotees call this festival [[Sahidee Guru Parav]]. <!--------------It was during his stay in Dhubri, that the ninth Guru received the news that a son was born to him at [[Patna]]. This son was [[Gobind Rai]] who later became the highly respected tenth Guru,  Sri [[Guru Gobind Singh]]. He succeeded to the Guru Gaddi after the execution of his father in Chandni Chowk, Delhi by the order of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in 1675.----> {{Aowf|Gurdwara Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib (Dhubri)}}
