The meeting happened near Humayun’s Tomb in 1707,
From the mausoleum you can see this white gleaming onion shaped dome of the gurdwara overlooking the garden.
Gurdwara Damdama Sahib was first built by Sardar Baghel Singh in 1783, when a huge Sikh army under his command conquered Delhi.
Later Maharaja Ranjit Singh renovated the Gurdwara. Consequently, a deorhi (gateway) was added.
Every year, for the Hola Mohalla festival thousands of devotees assemble here to celebrate.
