Gurudwaras of World

Gateway to Sikhism proudly launches
Gurudwaras of World @ www.worldgurudwaras.com 

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 historical well is located in a bazaar inside Mochi Gate. This well was once in Chandu' Haveli (mansion) and there used to be a small cell near this well where Chandu had imprison Guru Arjun Dev Ji after arresting him in 1606 AD. During his detention, Guru Dev Jf used to dri water from this well and also used it for his bath. It is also the place where Guru Dev Ji was put different tortures. In 1619 A.D when Sixth Patshah Ji came to Lahore, Chandu was led by a n string around the city and it was here that a Bharbhonja (one who sells poached grams) killed h' with his ladle.
