Hazur Sahib

Hazūr Sāhib (Punjabi ਹਾਜ਼ਰੀ ਸਾਹਿਬ hazūrī sāhib from Arabic الصاحب‎ حضور ḥaḍūr al-ṣāḥib "presence of the master"), also spelled Hazoor Sahib, more called as Takht Sri Hazur Sahib and also kown as Abchal Nagar, is one of the five takhts ("thrones", seats of temporal authority) in Sikhism. It is located on the banks of the River Godavari at the city of Nanded in the state of Maharashtra, Western India.

The structure is built at the place of death of Guru Gobind Singh. The inner room of the temple is called the Angitha Sahib and is built over the place where Guru Gobind Singh was cremated in 1708. The construction of the temple was constructed in 1832-1837 by order of Maharaja Ranjit Singh (1780-1839).

The Takht houses both the Sri Guru Granth Sahib and the Sri Dasam Granth. This follows the pattern of Takht Patna Sahib.
