Gurdwara Dera Baba Karaj Singh Ji Hoti Mardan wale is a community Sikh gurdwara (place of worship) situated in East Delhi, India, at coordinates 28.649062°N, 77.278937°E, near the Patparganj and Shahdara localities. The gurdwara is dedicated to the memory and spiritual legacy of the revered Sikh saint Sant Baba Karaj Singh Ji (also venerated in the tradition of Sant Baba Karam Singh Ji) of Hoti Mardan — a historic centre of Gurmat learning and Sikh preaching that once flourished near the Mardan cantonment in what is now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The gurdwara stands as a living bridge between the pre-partition Sikh heritage of the northwestern frontier and the diaspora community that resettled in Delhi after the traumatic events of 1947. When Sikh families who had been connected to the original Dera Hoti Mardan were uprooted and displaced to Delhi, they carried with them their devotion to the saints of that holy dera. In time, they established this gurdwara in East Delhi to preserve the spiritual tradition and continue the religious practices inspired by the Hoti Mardan lineage. Today, the gurdwara serves as a vibrant spiritual and community hub. It provides a full range of religious services to the Sikh sangat (congregation), including Akhand Path (continuous reading of the Guru Granth Sahib Ji), Sehaj Path, Sukhmani Sahib Path, and Anand Karaj (Sikh wedding ceremonies). The langar hall offers free meals to all visitors regardless of faith, continuing the centuries-old Sikh tradition of equality and seva (selfless service). The complex also houses a Gurmat Academy — known as St. M.S. Karamjot Model School — which provides education in Punjabi language and classical Sikh music (kirtan), ensuring the younger generation remains connected to their cultural and spiritual roots. The gurdwara also conducts community welfare programmes such as blood donation camps. Live broadcasts of religious programmes are made available via digital channels, enabling the wider sangat to participate remotely. Visitors of all faiths are warmly welcomed at this gurdwara. It draws Sikh devotees from across the east Delhi region and beyond who come to pay their respects to the memory of the Hoti Mardan saints, listen to kirtan (devotional hymns), partake in langar, and seek spiritual solace. The gurdwara is a testament to the resilience of the Sikh community in rebuilding sacred spaces and preserving their religious heritage after partition.

Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha Block 14, Geeta Colony is a community Sikh place of worship located in the heart of East Delhi's Geeta Colony neighbourhood, bearing the coordinates 28.650812° N, 77.277187° E and falling under PIN code 110031. Situated within one of Delhi's most storied post-Partition residential settlements, this gurdwara serves as the spiritual and social nucleus for the Sikh families of Block 14 and the broader Geeta Colony area. Like all gurdwaras bearing the revered 'Guru Singh Sabha' name, it draws its identity from the historic Singh Sabha movement, the 19th-century reformist awakening that sought to restore Sikhism to its pristine teachings and liberate Sikh shrines from corruption and neglect. Geeta Colony itself was carved out of the Jheel Kuranja village during 1952–54 by India's Ministry of Rehabilitation, established expressly to resettle families uprooted by the catastrophic 1947 Partition of British India. The original settlers arrived from diverse districts of erstwhile West Punjab — including Multan, Jhang, Sargodha, Sialkot, Lyallpur, and parts of Sindh — carrying their faith, traditions, and determination to rebuild their lives. Among the very first acts of community-building that these displaced families undertook was the establishment of gurdwaras in each block of the new colony, ensuring that spiritual life would anchor their resettlement. Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha Block 14 is thus inseparable from this founding narrative of resilience and faith. Today, the gurdwara functions as a fully active place of daily worship, community service, and spiritual education. It conducts morning and evening prayers (Nitnem), regular kirtan (devotional music), and the reading of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji — the eternal living Guru of the Sikhs. The langar (community kitchen) operates daily, providing free vegetarian meals to all who visit regardless of caste, creed, or religion, in perfect embodiment of the Sikh principle of seva (selfless service). The gurdwara is managed by a local management committee representing the Sikh congregation of Block 14, and is affiliated with the wider network of gurdwaras in East Delhi overseen by the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC). Visitors from all faiths are warmly welcomed to participate in prayers, partake in langar, and experience the distinctive peace and inclusivity that defines Sikh sacred spaces.
