The marble gurudwara that stands at the site at present was built in the 1980s. The first gurdwara within the complex built by Baghel Singh, when he and 40,000 troops entered the Red Fort in March 1783, and occupied the Diwan-e-am. "The Mughal emperor Shah Alam II made a settlement with Baghel Singh, allowing him to raise gurdwaras on Sikh historical sites in the city as well as receive six annas in a rupee (37.5 per cent) of all the octroi duties in the capital. The general camped in the nearby Subzi Mandi with his troops and identified seven sites connected to the Sikh Gurus and had shrines raised on them within eight months," wrote Reena Singh in an article for Entertainment Times.
