Gurdwara Langar Sahib (Baba Nidhan Singh Ji), Nandedਗੁਰਦੁਆਰਾ ਲੰਗਰ ਸਾਹਿਬ (ਬਾਬਾ ਨਿਧਾਨ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ), ਨਾਂਦੇੜGurdwara Langar Sahib (Baba Nidhan Singh Ji), Nanded

Physical-site identity: Distinct major gurdwara complex outside the principal Takht compound and separate from the Guru-period Mata Sahib langar site. Source-confidence assessment: High for the twentieth-century foundation and present institution; low for any claim that the present complex itself is an unchanged 1708 Guru-period parcel.

Langar Sahib is not an old Guru-period gurdwara, but it is now an important historic Sikh institution in Nanded. Standard Sikh reference literature states that Sant Baba Nidhan Singh established it in the 1920s primarily to feed and shelter pilgrims. Its later development represents the continuing Guru ka Langar tradition at Hazur Sahib and the twentieth-century revival of Sikh pilgrimage infrastructure in the Deccan.

Langar Sahib is not an old Guru-period gurdwara, but it is now an important historic Sikh institution in Nanded. Route / chronology context: Place in the twentieth-century Nanded heritage layer, after the Guru-period sequence.

Sant Baba Nidhan Singh Ji and twentieth-century Nanded Sikh pilgrimage heritage; Guru ka Langar tradition associated with Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s Nanded legacy

• Distinct major gurdwara complex outside the principal Takht compound and separate from the Guru-period Mata Sahib langar site.

• Major active Nanded gurdwara and round-the-clock langar institution.

• Source-confidence control: High for the twentieth-century foundation and present institution; low for any claim that the present complex itself is an unchanged 1708 Guru-period parcel.

The historical association, later memorial development and present building are separate layers. The Sikh Encyclopedia explicitly states that Langar Sahib is “not an old historical shrine.” That sentence is a control, not a reason to erase the site: the master records it as later Sikh heritage, with no claim that the modern complex is a 1708 structure or an independently verified Guru-period camp. Pothi does not treat the present structure as Guru-period fabric unless an independent architectural or documentary source proves that date.

• Established in the 1920s; expanded as a major pilgrimage and langar institution during the twentieth century: Langar Sahib is not an old Guru-period gurdwara, but it is now an important historic Sikh institution in Nanded. • Later memorial / institutional layer: Distinct major gurdwara complex outside the principal Takht compound and separate from the Guru-period Mata Sahib langar site. • Present: Major active Nanded gurdwara and round-the-clock langar institution.

• Do not merge HG-467 with HG-453 Mata Sahib Devan Ji, which marks the Guru-period langar tradition associated with Mata Sahib during Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s stay. HG-467 is the later Baba Nidhan Singh institution. Do not backdate its present structure to 1708.

• Place in the twentieth-century Nanded heritage layer, after the Guru-period sequence.
