Sikhism Tools
Your guide to Sikh faith and heritage. Find Gurdwaras anywhere in the world and stay connected with the Nanakshahi calendar for important events and observances.
☬ Your Digital Companion for Sikh Heritage
Sikhism is a rich tradition of spirituality, service, and community. Our Sikhism Tools section is dedicated to providing resources that help you connect with this heritage, whether you are a devout follower or someone interested in learning more. We have developed tools that are both practical for daily life and educational, bringing key aspects of Sikh culture into the digital age.
Gurudwara Finder
The Gurudwara ('Door to the Guru') is the heart of the Sikh community. Our Gurudwara Finder is a comprehensive, global directory designed to help you locate Sikh temples anywhere in the world. Find details on prominent Gurdwaras like the Golden Temple in Amritsar, as well as local Gurdwaras in India, Canada, the UK, USA, and beyond. Each listing provides valuable information on location, services like Langar (community kitchen), accommodation, and contact details to help you plan your visit.
Nanakshahi Calendar
Stay connected to the Sikh calendar with our interactive Nanakshahi Calendar. This solar-based calendar, established by the SGPC, is crucial for observing important dates. Our tool displays both Gregorian and Nanakshahi dates, highlights key events like Gurpurabs (anniversaries of the Gurus), Sangrand (the first day of the month), and other significant observances. With the ability to toggle between English and Punjabi (Gurmukhi), it's an essential resource for every Sikh household.
