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.

Guru Nanak Ji came to Sakhi Sarwar from D.I.Khan and the place where
he stayed is known as Thara Sahib.
Sakhi Sarwar is about 400 kilometer from Lahore. It is also called
by tj e name of "Nigaha" and a metalled road leads direct to this
town from D.G.Khan. The railway station which serves it too. A semi cobbled
road leads into the city. The place where Guru Nanak Ji had stayed is
located in the compound of the tomb of Hazrat Sakhi Sarwar. Munshi Hukum
Chand writes, "The Southwestern side is known by the name of Baba
Nanak, while the other cells are on the eastern side"
This sacred place lies between the mosque and mazar (tomb). The fair
is held every year, but no recitation of Granth Sahib is done
