The word Gurudwara, introduced by Guru Har Gobind ji, means 'the House of God', which holds ultimate sanctity in Sikh Religion. The Sikh Shrines have a very special significance for the Sikh community. Guru Nanak made the first gurudwara and he called it a Dharamsala meaning a place for the religious people.

Most of the Sikh shrines are historical, as Gurus built them. On visiting these gurudwaras a Sikh feels the presence of the Guru himself who actually built it. Almost all of the gurudwaras have been built by voluntary donations and service. A gurudwara is more precious to a Sikh than his own life.
