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.

The Patshah of Meeri and Piri Secular and Temporal Guru Hargobind Ji
stayed in this place while on his way back from Kashmir. The place is
located inside Kabuli Gate. Some chroniclers have also used the name
of "Haveli Chhenvi Patshahi" (Mansion of the 6th king) for
this place. The building is elegantly built and presently it is occupied
by refugees. These e6ple have made alterations in the building to suit
their requirements. Rent is collected by the Wagf~Board.
The Shrine of Shah Daula Ji is also located in this city. Bhai Gadiya
met him. Shah Daula listened to the recitation of Sukhmani Sahib from
him. Later Shah Ji met sixth Patshahi and made a presentation of 100
tolas of gold to Guru Gobind Singh, which is a part of history. The Shrine
of Shah Daula Ji is close to Gurdwara of 6th Patshahi.
