History
In the early days of Sikhism, places of worship were known as dharamsalas, where Sikhs congregated to receive the teachings of the Guru and engage in hymn singing. As the Sikh community grew, Guru Hargobind introduced the term "Gurdwara," symbolizing the gateway to spiritual connection with the Guru. Consequently, all Sikh places of worship adopted this name. A Gurdwara refers to any location where the Guru Granth Sahib is installed and revered, whether within a household or a standalone building. These sacred spaces are dedicated to three primary functions: Kirtan, involving the singing of hymns from the Guru Granth Sahib, and Katha, which entails the reading of the scripture with explanations. Additionally, every Gurdwara hosts the Langar, a free community kitchen open to visitors of all faiths. Gurdwaras worldwide also serve the Sikh community through various initiatives, including providing libraries of Sikh literature, educational programs teaching Gurmukhi and Sikh scriptures to children, and engaging in charitable endeavors that benefit the broader community.
