About Takht Sachkhand Sri Hazur Abchalnagar Sahib
Takht Sachkhand Sri Hazur Abchalnagar Sahib is one of the five supreme Takhts in Sikhism, located on the banks of the Godavari River in Nanded, Maharashtra. It marks the site where Guru Gobind Singh Ji spent his final days and declared the Guru Granth Sahib as the eternal Guru in 1708. The current gurdwara structure was built between 1832 and 1837 by Maharaja Ranjit Singh.
