Historic Gurdwaras

'Historic Gurdwaras' in India are those, which have been built to honour any event that occurred during the time our ten Gurus took birth on Earth. As for a Sikh, every thing is achieved by
means or by the grace of the Guru. The presence of the Sikh Scripture, called 'Guru Granth Sahib ji' also referred to as Satguru , is an essential feature of a gurdwara. The other main component is the holy congregation (assemblage of people) called the Sadh Sangat present within the Gurdwara, in humble obeying the principles laid down by the Sikh Gurus.

The Sikhs engage themselves in prayer (Simran) and also devote their precious time in providing voluntary service called 'Sewa' either in the form of money or any physical activity.
'Langar' refers to where all the sangat sit together to have free meals served to anyone who visits
this Sikh institution. All these activities or facilities are generally organised by and managed
on a voluntary basis by volunteers called Sewadars.
