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 village, called Jatri, is located on the Bhai Pheru-Khunda road a little farther from Balluki Head Works. There used to be the Gurdwara of Sat Guru Arjun Dev Ji in the village which has now vanished, only its inn remains. Sat Guru stayed in the village for a few days in recognition of Bhai Jatri's love.
Even today the Samadh of Bhai Jatri stands in a grove of trees outside the village on the river Ravi side.
