Visit to Delhi
Guru Sahib visited Delhi on the invitation of Raja Jai
Singh of Amber (Jaipur), as desired by Emperor Auraogzeb and stayed at his banglow. He
imparted religious instructions to the multitude of people. In those days the entire city
was in the grip of smallpox epidemics. Thousands of people died of smallpox infection. To
provide relief to the suffering people Guru Sahib got Chubachcha constructed just outside
his room. He poured water in it; picked up little water and again poured in it. He put his foot in the Chubachcha and, thus, prepared
Charan-pahul. The people would recite "Satinama Vahiguru" take amrit from the
Chubachcha and would cure. Since then everyone coming to Gurdwara Bangala Sahib would
ardently take amrit from the Chubachcha.
