guru nanak gurdwara in smethwick is europe’s first and first biggest gurdwara (sikh temple). this gurdwara is the first gurdwara, in the history of uk and europe, to be purchased and used purely for the purpose of worship by the sikh community in the united kingdom. the total gurdwara spans an area of about 78,000 square metres and the building is four stories high.
guru nanak gurdwara was established in 1961 and is one of the most prominent and influential sikh gurdwaras in the world. the gurdwara sahib is open 7 days a week and holds daily programs for local sikhs and visitors to pray and seek blessings. it has more than 10000 weekly congregation.
my sincerest thanks go out to mr. sarbjit singh who warmly welcomed me to the gurdwara and gave me a generous and enlightening tour of the building and the faith community.
