This
shrine is also dedicated to Guru Nanak who hallowed this place during
his visit to Delhi in the 15th century. The small structure was expanded
in the 1980s to a larger white marble structure with a cusped dome,
which is planned to be covered with gold leaf work later. The
interesting story of this Gurdwara talks about a Muslim hermit, who
lived on this hillock during the reign of Sikander Lodhi and used to row
people across River Yamuna free of charge. He so yearned for the glimpse
of God that the local people called him 'Majnu'. It is said that he
finally attained enlightenment by the blessings of Guru Nanak and became
his devout disciple. Since then, his hermitage came to be known as Majnu
ka Tila. The devout love of Majnu towards God and his radiant spirit
attracted prople, who built this shrine to commemorate him and Guru
Nanak. On Baisakhi every year, a 'langar' is arranged here for all to
celebrate the birth of Khalsa.
