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.

This shrine of Hargobind Ji called Gurusar is located at Rehsema village
of Sialkot district. Once there used to be a tank of Guru Ji at a distance
of half a kilometer from village. It is said that the pond was dry
when Guru Dev Ji arrived at the place and Sat Gur made the water ooze
out of the earth by throwing his lance. There was a Gurdwara and Prakash
of Guru Granth Sahib Ji used to be
held.
The sacred pond has been levelled now and Gurdwara has been occupied
by people.
