Guru Ram Rai Gurudwara is the most well-known holy building in Dehradun. It's in the middle of the city. Guru Ram Rai Gurudwara is the oldest and most sacred place for the Sikh population in Dehradun.

History of the Ram Rai Gurudwara

Guru Ram Rai Bahadur Gurudwara is a holy place of worship and travel for the Udaseen sect of the Sikh community. It was built around the 17th century. It was against Sikh law for Guru Ram Rai to translate a word from the holy Adi Granth for Emperor Aurangzeb. But the real reason he mistranslated was to avoid offending the Mughal Darbar. It was because the 17th century was the height of the conflict between Muslims and Sikhs.

The gurudwara's Muslim and Mughal features came from the fact that the Mughal ruler and Guru Ram Rai were friendly with each other, say experts. In addition, the Mughal emperor "Aurangzeb" paid for and gave land for this place.

The Jhanda Mela is a huge event. It takes place every year at the Gurudwara between Holi and Ram Navami. The Jhanda (Flag), a 100-foot-long tree trunk wrapped in many layers of clothes, is being changed at this year's event.
