Detailed explanation-1: -A Gurdwara is the place where Sikhs come together for congregational worship. The first Gurdwara in the world was built by Guru Nanak in 1521-2 at Kartarpur. There are about 200 Gurdwaras in Britain. The literal meaning of the Punjabi word Gurdwara is ‘the residence of the Guru’, or ‘the door that leads to the Guru’.
Detailed explanation-2: -Introduction. The word “Gurdwara” means “Door to the Guru” or “House of the Guru”. The Guru in this case refers both to God (referred to variously as Satnam-“True Name”, Satguru – “True Guru”, Waheguru – “Wonderful Guru”), and the Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh holy book.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Golden Temple has four entrances to symbolise the acceptance of all people regardless of their religion, caste, and creed. The founder of the temple, Guru Arjan Dev Ji invited Mian Mir, a Sufi Saint from Lahore to lay the cornerstone of the temple.
