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.

Vinni is a village of police station, Tehsil and district Hafizabad. "Ichcha
Parak" Gurdwara of Sat Guru Hargobind Ji is in this village. Sat
Guru came here for a brief visit from Hafizabad in recognition of love
and affection of the villagers.
Gurdwara has been well constructed in form of a house and some land is
attached to it. Presently same refugees are settled here. In the past
a small fair used to be held on the first Visakhi but it is stopped now.
