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.

Village Tergay is situated on Kasur-Qadiwind road about one km east of village Qadiwind. This sacred place elegantly stands in this village.
While Sat Gur Amar Das Ji was going to Kasur, the residents of this village welcomed him with love and urged him to stay. He conceded and stayed there. A small Gurdwara was built. There used to be a bunch of trees close by. Sat Gur had tied the horse to trees which have withered away.
There is a grant of 2.5 ghumaon of land by Bhai Sulakhan Singh of Qadiwind and 2.5 ghumaon by villagers for the shrine. A fair is held on Visakhi.
