Gurdwara

A Gurdwara is a place of worship for Sikhs, where they gather to pray, meditate, and participate in community activities. The term "Gurdwara" means "doorway to the Guru," reflecting its role as a space to connect with spiritual teachings. Inside, you'll typically find the Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh holy scripture, which is treated with great respect. Gurdwaras often serve meals, known as langar, to all visitors, emphasizing principles of equality and community. They play a central role in Sikh culture, promoting spiritual growth and social cohesion.
