Gurudwaras of World

Gateway to Sikhism proudly launches
Gurudwaras of World @ www.worldgurudwaras.com 

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.

Historical Gurudwaras in Pakistan

Gurudwara Tahli Sahib,Rehsema Distt Sialkot

 

Gurudwara Tahli Sahib,Rehsema Distt Sialkot


This is the third shrine of Guru Hargobind Ji in this village. When Guru Dev Ji reached this place, the marriage of daughter of a Gosai Sadhu was being solemnized. Guru Dev Ji went to his house at his supplications. The pond where he washed his feet was turned into a place of worship. Guru Ji presented the Sadhu one hundred rupees in a purse along with a sehli (local) cap. These three items were kept here as relics.

The shrine called Tahli Sahib is located at the eastern side of the village. Guru Sahib stayed here while on his way to Kashmir and during his stay he had tied his horse with a sheesham (siccoo) tree and thus it came to be called Tahli Sahib. The shrine looks like a house and some people live in it.
The village is now known as Salehpur. Its P.S. is Chaprar of tehsil and district Sialkot.
This darbar was built by the Sangat of Amritsar. A fair used to be held on 1st, 2nd and 3rd of Har. 3 ghumaon of land is endowed to the Gurdwara.
