Gateway to Sikhism proudly launches Gurudwaras of World @ www.worldgurudwaras.com on auspicious day of Khalsa Sajna Divas , Vaisakhi April 14th 2012. Worldgurudwaras.com will strive to be most comprehensive directory of Historical Gurudwaras and Non Historical Gurudwaras around the world.
The etymology of the term 'gurdwara' is from the words 'Gur (ਗੁਰ)' (a reference to the Sikh Gurus) and 'Dwara (ਦੁਆਰਾ)' (gateway in Gurmukhi), together meaning 'the gateway through which the Guru could be reached'. Thereafter, all Sikh places of worship came to be known as gurdwaras.
It is a work in progress and We strongly urge the Sikh Cyber Community to contribute to this project by submitting contact information, details, images of Gurudwaras around the world to make this a comprehensive directory.

This shrine is situated in Bhabrana locality of the old city. Nearby lies Dharamsala Hema Ji Maharaj. That is why it is also known as Dharamsala locality. It is a three storeyed building. In the middle of it prakashasthan lies. Manji Sahib is made of wood like Baradari on which heart arresting flowers are engraved. Near by the Manji Sahib lies a library. IN the beginning, this was religious library but now it is for blind people. At the present, in this building, these lies a school for blinds. Nearby the stairs lies a dome shaped small sacred place that is made of marble on which it is written:
,, Bhajan Asthan Bhai Maya Rama Sahib Ji"
This building is very beautiful but it needs more case to exist
