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 village by the name of Hadiara is situated on Lahore-Ghawindi road. This road was previously known as Lahore-Patti road.
There is a sacred shrine of Sri Guru Hargobind Ji in the village Hadiara. He visited this place in recognition of the affection of the Sikh Sangat. The Gurdwara is the tallest building of the village and it is visible from a distance. At present refugees from Amritsar are settled in it. The building is beautiful and in good condition but there is no arrangement for its maintenance. Once Prakash to perform daily and the priests were singhs.
