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, Manshera
Gurudwara Chhevin Patshahi, Manshera
This sacred shrine of Sahib Guru Hargobind Ji is on Kashmir Road in Mansehra City. He came here while returning from Kashmir. The Siksh of the Gurus built this Gqrdwara at the site where he had stayed and pleased the loving Sangat by providing them with an opportunity to look at him. This Gurdwara is three storeyed and the Prakashasthan is in the hall of this Gurdwara. The tiles bearing the name of those who have served the Gurdwara are fixed on the flour and the walls_ Captivating pictures are drawn on the walls. Once prakash used to take place but now it is just a building.
