Takhat Sachkhand Shri Hazur Abchalnagar Sahib is the main Gurudwara situated in Nanded, Maharashtra. It is one of the four High seats of Authority of the Sikhs. Guru Gobind Singh was the 10th and last Guru of the Sikhs who held his court and congregation here. He died in Nanded and his ashes are buried in the Sachkhand Shri Huzur Gurudwara on the side of the river Godavari. It is believed that from Nanded Guru Gobind Singhji rose to heaven along with his horse Dilbag.

The Gurudwara is very beautiful and picturesque structure with marble and golden plating. The two-storey building of the Takhat Sahib proper standing on a high base has a small square room on the second floor bearing the gilded ribbed dome topped with a tall gilded pinnacle and umbrella shaped finial. There are some rooms in the basement too, so that the edifice is technically four-storeyed. Corners of the roof of the first floor are decorated with domed kiosks on octagonal pedestals.
