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.

Gurudwara Nahing Singh Chawnai at Naushehra

The Gurdwara is attached with the Samadh of Sardar Phoola Singh Akali. The Samadh is a small Chaukhandi (room with door in each of the 4 walls) whereas the Gurdwara is built in the form of a fort. The vacant land beside it is a part of the Gurdwara. Nahing Singh used to practice war skills here. This vacant land measures about 1.5 squares. The building is elegant and strong. Its location by the river has added much to its grace.
