To ensure a respectful and harmonious experience for all, please observe the following
guidelines during your visit.

What to Expect
A Gurdwara is a place of worship for Sikhs, but it is open to people of all faiths and backgrounds. 
Visitors can participate in prayers, listen to hymns, and enjoy the communal meal known as Langar. 

The Gurdwara is a place of equality, humility, and service.
