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 Manji Sahib at Manakdeke Distt Kasur |

This village is at a distance of about 2 kms from Kangan Pur and is served by Kangan Pur Railway station. It is in tehsil Chunian of Kasur Distt. Sat Guru had cursed its people to be scattered and this village looks like a deserted place even today. The whole village is built with mud. People work in other cities. Manji Sahib of Sat Gur Nanak Dev Ji has been built in baked bricks in a street outside the village facing Government Primary School. Refugees from Mewat are living in it now. Once there used to be the Prakash of Guru Garanth Sahib but for the last 50 years it has not taken place. The people of the town are still kind and loving.
