At a distance of 4 km from Srinagar Bus Station, Chatti Padshahi Gurudwara is an important Sikh pilgrimage site located in Srinagar. Situated outside the Hari Parbat Fort's southern gate, it is counted as one of the most important religious places to visit in Srinagar.
Chatti Padshahi Gurudwara is probably the largest Sikh gurdwara in the entire Kashmir valley. The legend of this gurudwara associates it with Guru Hargobind Singhji, the sixth Sikh Guru, and his ardent devotee Mai Bhagbhari. It is said that she yearned for a long to get a glimpse of the Guru, who finally visited her. During the visit, he preached the virtues of Sikhism.
The Gurdwara comprises a rectangular hall with the sanctum in the middle and a spacious terrace in front. An old well nearby is said to have been dug on the orders of Guru Hargobind. It also has accommodation facilities and langar food is offered to all visitors every day of the year.
