Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 13 visited Takhat Sri Harimandir Ji Patna Sahib. Modi, who is campaigning in Bihar for the Lok Sabha elections, served langar at the gurudwara. He was also seen lending a hand in preparing the meal.
Takhat Sri Patna Sahib also known as Takhat Sri Harimandir Ji, Patna Sahib, is one of the five takhats of the Sikhs, located in the state capital. The construction of the takhat was commissioned by Maharaja Ranjit Singh in the 18th century to mark the birthplace of Guru Gobind Singh.
Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru, was born in Patna, in 1666. He also spent his early years here before moving to Anandpur Sahib.
The prime minister's gurudwara visit comes a day after he held a roadshow in Patna. Modi is scheduled to address election rallies in Bihar's Hajipur, Muzaffarpur and Saran later in the day.
