A Gurdwara is a place of worship for Sikhs. The term “Gurdwara” is derived from Punjabi language where “Guru” meaning a teacher and “Dwara” refers to “a door”, meaning doorway to Guru’s house. People from all faiths, and those who do not profess any faith, are welcomed in Sikh Gurdwaras. Each Gurdwara has a Darbar Sahib where the current and everlasting Guru of the Sikhs, the holy scripture “Guru Granth Sahib” is placed on a takhat (an elevated thorne) in a prominent central position.
