Three kilometers east of Takhat Sri Harmandir Sahib Ji in Patna’s Dhaulpura on Patna – Fatuha Road, stands the beautiful Gurudwara Guru Ka Bagh. Surrounded by a green landscape with a sarovar (lake) in front, the temple is an oasis of spiritual solace and was built on the spot where Guru Tegh Bahadur stopped on his return from his missionary tour of the East. His mere presence in the Bagh (Garden) miraculously transformed the dry fields into a verdant garden, which its owners, Nawab Rahim Bakhsh and Nawab Karim Bakhsh, had gifted to the Guru and named it Guru Ka Bagh.

The garden is believed to belong to two brothers of noble lineage – Nawab Rahim Bakhsh and Nawab Karim Bakhsh. The garden was once a hardscrabble estate that was the brothers’ pride.

About 3 km’s east of Takht Sri Harmandir Sahib is where Guru Tegh Bahadur first stopped in a Bagh (garden) belonging to Nawabs Rahim Bakhsh and Karim Bakhsh, nobles of Patna. This was where the sangat of Patna along with the young Guru Gobind Singh came out to receive him back from his four-year-long odyssey. After the Guru’s visit the dry Bagh became lush and green with plantlife. This miracle is also mentioned in Dukh Bhanjani Sahib. When people informed the owners of the bagh, they were delighted. The Nawabs approached Guru Tegh Bahadur and after taking blessings they gifted the whole bagh to Guru Ji. Hence the name of the Gurdwara, Guru Ka Bagh.

A hindu sadhu who had been living in the bagh for some time believed the miracle to be magic, he accused the Guru of being a magician. Guru Tegh Bahadur confronted the sadhu and said that although the sadhu had worshiped a lot he was not free from maya. To bring him back onto the right path, Guru Ji ordered a Sikh to bring some things from the nearby well. Obeying the order the Sikh took out one lota (gadvi) and one beragan from the well. Guru Tegh Bahadur put both the things before the sadhu and explained that these were his belongings that floated away in the river when he was taking a bath however his belongings like his deeds has not gone anywhere. The sadhu recognized his belongings and fell before Guru Tegh Bahadur asking for forgiveness. Conveying him the message of One God, Guru Tegh Bahadur freed him from the world.

In Guru Ka Bagh, a tree of Krondhe which gives fruits throughout the year. It grew through the Datun (wooden toothbrush) of Guru Tegh Bahadur. An old well, still in use, and a dried stump of the Imli tree (Tamarind tree), under which the sangat met Guru Tegh Bahadur, still exists. A Gurdwara commemorative of the first meeting of Tegh Bahadur and Gobind Singh was established here. Its present building was constructed during the 1970s and 1980s.
