Guru Tegh Bahadur Gurdwara

Sikhs began settling in Leicester in significant numbers after the Second World War, contributing to the city’s cultural diversity and economic development. The establishment of the cityโ€™s first Sikh Gurdwaras in the 1960s marked a pivotal moment in the growth and organization of Leicesterโ€™s Sikh community. By 2021, the Sikh population in Leicester had risen to over 15,000, representing approximately 5% of the city’s residents, compared to a national average of 0.9%.

The Sikh communityโ€™s contributions are particularly evident during annual Nagar Kirtans (processions). The Vaisakhi Nagar Kirtan, held in April, attracts thousands of people from Leicester and the Midlands, with a vibrant procession through the city centre. Another significant event is the Nagar Kirtan in November, celebrating Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s Parkash Purab (birth anniversary), which unites the community in faith and joy.

50th Anniversary of our Charity Registration Status at Guru Tegh Bahadur Gurudwara, Leicester ๐ŸŽ‰

On 20 May 1976, Guru Tegh Bahadur Gurdwara Sahib was officially registered as a charity under the leadership of the Pardhan, Bhai Ajmer Singh Minhas.

As we celebrated the 50th anniversary of this historic milestone this May, we would like to thank the dedicated sewadars, Gyani Sahibans, past and present committees and the Leicester sangat for their unwavering support and commitment throughout the years.

You have stood by the Gurdwara Sahib through many challenges and hardships- from changing social structures to the difficulties faced during COVID-19 to the renovation projects undertaken for the future of the Gurdwara Sahib. Through every obstacle, the sangat has remained united.

The spirit of our sewadars continues to inspire us all. From the early hours of the morning, sewadars rise at 4am to lovingly prepare parshade for the sangat, and remain late into the evening helping to clean, organise and prepare for another day of seva ahead. It is through this selfless seva that the Gurdwara Sahib continues to flourish as a home for generations to come.

As part of our history project, we are looking for old photographs and videos of Guru Tegh Bahadur Gurdwara Sahib from past years- including programmes, seva, nagar kirtans, weddings, camps, renovation projects and other special memories.
If you or your family have any old photos or videos you would be willing to share, please send them to:
gtb_gurdwara@hotmail.co.uk

Once again, a massive thank you to the sangat for your love! ๐Ÿ’›

From

Satwinder Singh Deol, General Secretary

Congratulations to the sangat for 50 years as a charity ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผโค๏ธ

Congratulations

I have seen some old faces like Darshan singh madhopuri, Harbhajan Singh Plaha, kewal singh Johal. My self is not in the picture but I was a regular person when we had weekly gatherings on Sunday prior to buy building for the gurdwara. I remember kewal singh johal, puritan singh takhar & Darshan Singh madhopuri use to pick me up from my house to perform Asda ji di vaar every Sunday. We had good unity amongst Sikh community but later went separate ways due to caste differences. Wish we had progressed towards the unity of good understanding of our religion. Not many people will remember of my contribution during the struggle.wjkkwjkf

Congratulations

Lovely to see the history of the 50th charity anniversary milestone years of Guru Tegh Bahadur Gurdwara Leicester. So many familiar faces remembered, and many sadly no longer with us, but their seva continues through the generations. I have so many cherished childhood memories there — a place that shaped so much of community, faith, and family.
