History

Gurdwara Sikh Sangat Boston has been serving the needs of the Greater Boston Area since December 2005. At that time the Gurdwara was located in a temporary location in Somerville. In February 2012, the community moved to a permanent location in Everett where have been located since. In March 2025, the community bought an adjacent piece of land with the aim to expand the physical space direly needed to cater to the increasing attendance at the Gurdwara since the past several years. We are now raising funds to begin the expansion work of the premises. Early Beginnings In 2005, the sangat (community) rented a small space in an office building in Somerville, being shared with other businesses and organizations. The existence of a Gurdwara inside the building was not evident from the outside; however, the sangat truly made the space their house of worship. The hallway was used to store shoes during the service, a small room was used to warm up food, and the largest room was a prayer space also used as a classroom for lessons and a langar hall for community meals. The size of the office was no longer suitable for the growing community, however. Expansion Plans The sangat found a larger, permanent space in Everett in 2012, allowing them to have a separate kitchen and langar hall, as well as classrooms for students and apartments for visiting religious singers and preachers. The community has flourished in that space ever since serving their needs all these years. As the community continued to grow through the years, it felt the need to further expand the premises needed for conducting daily services and langar . In early 2025, the community bought a property adjacent to the current premises with the aim to expand the current space of worship and the kitchen, along with adding a library and more classrooms to serve an increasing number of children enrolled in weekly Khalsa school classes. With the successful purchase of the property, the community is now working on the building expansion plan.
