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.
Historical Gurudwaras in Pakistan
Gurudwara Chhevin Patshahi,Buzurgwal,
Gurudwara Chhevin Patshahi,Buzurgwal, Distt Gujrat

This village going by the name of Bazurgwal is located on the Gujrat-Bhimber road at a distance of about 24 kilometers from Gujrat. Lala Musa is its railway station and tehsil headquarter. The village can be approached from here. There is a Gurdwara of Guru Hargobind Ji in this village. He had stayed in this village while he was coming to Gujrat from Kashmir
There used to be three Gurdwaras in this village but none of them survived undamaged. Two have been wiped out completely while some marks of this historic place remain but you cannot say that its a Gurdwara until the same is specifically pointed out.
