Gurdwara Gobind Ghat

Gurdwara Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ghat, also known as Gurudwara Kangan Ghat,[1] is a Sikh place of worship on the banks of the Ganges River approximately 650 m (710 yd) from Takht Sri Patna Sahib.[2] In Hindu mythology, this is the place where Guru Gobind Singh threw his gold bangle (kangan) and passed on the knowledge of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji to Pandit Shiv Dutt, a devotee of Sri Ram Chandra. This myth is not accepted by Sikhs as it violates the Sikh faith's disbelief in miracles. Knowledge cannot be passed in this manner[3]
