About Sikh Temples in New Zealand
Gurdwaras are the houses of worship of the Sikh community, founded by Guru Nanak in 15th-century Punjab. Every gurdwara houses the Guru Granth Sahib — Sikhism's sacred scripture and eternal Guru — and welcomes visitors of any background to share in langar, the free community meal that embodies Sikh values of equality and seva. The Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) in Amritsar is the most sacred site, drawing millions annually. Other historically significant gurdwaras commemorate the lives of the ten Sikh Gurus across Punjab, Pakistan, and India. The diaspora has built vibrant gurdwaras in Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, Singapore, Malaysia, and East Africa.
