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 sacred shrine built in memory of Shaheed Bhai Dilip Singh is in Chak No 132 RB of district Faisalabad (Layyalpur). Chak Jhumra is its railway as well as Police Station. A paved path leads towards the village about 2km from road passing through the first railway crossing-while going from railway station to Faisalabad. The Jamia Mosque of the village is built within the courtyard of this Gurdwara and entrance for both the religious places is common. The mosque is also called gurdware wall maseet. The building has two halls with a verandah in front. The walls of Gurdwara are strong but the roof is collapsing and needs immediate repair.
