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 monument of Jagat Guru Nanaki Dev Ji was once located at. the bank
of old River Ravi near Badami Bagh railway station. It is said that it
was at this spot that Jagat Guru had delivered (Mukat) the father of
Duni Chand from rebirth. Once a memorial dome stood in this place and
the control of this place was with a Mahant . Neither the Mahants nor
any signs of this place remain but for the accounts in the pages of history.
