More About Georgia

History

Sikhs began arriving in Georgia in the 1970s and 1980s, primarily as physicians, engineers, and university faculty at Georgia Tech, Emory, and the Medical College of Georgia. The community's major growth came in the 1990s and 2000s alongside Atlanta's transformation into a global business city, with Punjabi professionals joining companies like Home Depot, UPS, Cox Enterprises, and Delta Air Lines' global supply chain. The Atlanta suburb of Duluth became a hub of South Asian cultural life, anchored by Indian grocery stores, restaurants, and community spaces.

Services

Georgia's Gurdwaras serve free Langar following Sunday Diwan, with the Duluth Gurdwara offering daily service. Punjabi language classes are available for children, and youth programming includes kirtan instruction, Sikh history, and summer camps. The community is active in interfaith dialogue in the Atlanta metro and has built relationships with the Hindu, Muslim, and Christian communities of North Atlanta's diverse suburbs.
