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,Jhalian
Gurudwara Chhevin Patshahi,Jhalian Distt Lahore
The village Jhalian is in P.S. Burki of the Lahore district. It is five kilometers east of Burki and Tongas can be hired from Burki to go to the village.
These two villages of Jhalian and Dhilwan are linked with each other and that is why they are also called as Jhalian Dhilwan.
There is a sacred place in the village which was touched by the feet of Sat Gur Hargobind Ji. Gurdwara is beautiful and has been constructed like a govt bungalow with a verandah in front and with two rooms at the back.
8 ghumaon Land is endowed by the villagers to the shrine. A refugee family from Arnbala is settled in it now.
