The journey takes you along the ceremonial avenue, Rajpath, passing by the imposing India Gate (in the center of New Delhi is the 42 m high India Gate, a “Triumphal Arch” arch in the middle of a crossroads. It is almost like its French counterpart, a monument to the fallen. It commemorates the 70,000 Indian soldiers who lost their lives fighting for the British Army during World War I and bears the names of more than 13,516 British and Indian soldiers killed on the North West Frontier during the Afghan War of 1919. The foundation stone was laid by His Royal Highness, The Duke of Connaught, in 1921 and designed by Edwin Lutyens.
President’s House (The palatial building built on a 330-acre area with a private garden designed by the illustrious Lutyens, as the official residence of the Viceroy of India during British rule, is now the official residence of the First Citizen) and Parliament House (this is the symbol of Indian democracy).
Next, visit Bangla Saheb Gurudwara where they feed thousands of devotees every day and can volunteer in the kitchens. Gurdwara Bangla Sahib was originally a bungalow belonging to Raja Jai Singh, an Indian ruler in the seventeenth century, and was known as Jaisingh Pura Palace, in Jaisingh Pura, an historic neighborhood demolished to make way for the Connaught Place, shopping district.
The eighth Sikh Guru, Guru Harkrishan resided here during his stay in Delhi in 1664. During that time, there was a smallpox and choler epidemic, and Guru Harkrishan helped the suffering by giving aid and fresh water from the well at this house. Soon he too contracted the illness and eventually died on March 30, 1664. A small tank was later constructed by Raja Jai Singh over the well, its water is now revered as having healing properties and is taken by Sikhs throughout the world back to their homes. The Gurdwara and its Sarovar are now a place of great reverence for Sikhs, and a place for special congregation on birth anniversary of Guru Har Krishan.
You will also experience community Kitchen cooking and serving at Bangla Sahib. The Community Kitchen at also known as institution of Guru ka Langar has served the community in many ways.

Later visit to Humayun’s tomb: this tomb, built by Emperor Humayun’s wife, took eight years to complete and is considered an example of early Mughal architecture. The emperor’s wife, Begai Begum, was buried in the tomb and the structure is the first of its kind built in the center of a well-planned garden.
