Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth guru of Sikh religion and father of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, along with his family members started a preaching tour to the East. In the beginning of 1666 A.D. he reached Patna. During his stay at Allahabad, with the will of God, the spirit and light of Guru Gobind Singh had descended and manifested itself in mother's womb. Mata Gujri had conceived this great son of God namely (Guru) Gobind Singh. Guru Tegh Bahadur while leaving his family at Patna proceeded on tour to Assam and Bengal. All types of facilities were provided to Guru's family by the local devotees of Patna.
"It was there that my light had appeared I was born at Patna city."
This holy birthplace Patna is renamed Patna Sahib keeping in view its sanctity. It is the second sacred throne (seat authority) out of five. It is here that Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji spent the early years of his life. At the sacred place of his birth, now stands a magnificent holy Shrine, called Takhat Sri Harimandir Ji, Patna Sahib. It was built by Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the founder of the Sikh Empire, which came to power in the northwest Indian subcontinent in the early half of the 19th century. It is situated in one of the old quarters of Patna city, once known as Kucha Farrukh Khan, now known as Harimandir Gali. It is regarded as one of the holiest of five "Takhats"(seat of the Sikh authority.)
