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.

The village Hanjra is located on Lahore-Multan road. It is twenty kilometers towards River Ravi from Pattoki town. A metalled road leads to Hanjra from Pattoki. The Gurdwara of Guru Arjun dev Ji is located in the eastern side of.the village. It is the place where Guru Arjun IDev settled the long standing boundary dispute between two brothers, Jatri and Hanjra and established the boundary between the two villages. Gur Dev Ji graced both the villages by his presence.
Initially the Gurdwara was a simple construction but subsequently the village sangat built it
with bricks and mortar. Gurdwara is closed since 1947. The tank has now become a pool of stagnated water.
