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 city’s first Sikh Gurdwaras in the 1960s marked a pivotal moment in the growth and organization of Leicester’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 community’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.

🎉 That's a wrap on another fantastic term at GTB Panjabi School- Braunstone Town Branch! 📚✨

What a year it's been! We started with just 2 classes a week at the start of the academic year and, thanks to the incredible support from local families, we've expanded to 4 classes a week! We're so proud of how our new school has grown and of everything our students have achieved this year.

To celebrate all of their hard work, we finished the term 2 weeks ago with a well-deserved pizza party! 🍕🎉

We hope everyone has a wonderful summer. Our new term at Braunstone starts on Tuesday 25th August (Advanced) and Thursday 27th August (Beginners). We can't wait to w#panjabischoole#sikhi #communityi#LearningTogetherm#summerbreakningTogether #SummerBreak

₹50 Lakhs Pledged for Punjab Flood Relief & Long-Term Support 🙏🌊

When the floods devastated parts of Panjab, we pledged to raise ₹50 lakhs- not only to provide immediate relief, but to support the long-term recovery and development of our homeland.

Over the last few months, members of the Guru Tegh Bahadur Gurudwara, Leicester Management Committee and sewadaars have made two self-funded trips to Panjab, personally covering all travel and administrative costs so that 100% of the funds raised could go towards those in need.

Throughout this initiative, we have remained in close contact with trusted local organisations and volunteers on the ground to identify and reach families who needed support the most. During these visits, we have been blessed with the opportunity to support: Families affected by the floods, families of shaheeds, with no or little income and charitable organisations carrying out vital work to help communities recover and rebuild.

This seva would not have been possible without the generosity and trust of the Sangat. Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered and supported this initiative.

These photos are a small glimpse of the impact your contributions have made. Together, we continue to stand with Panjab not just in times of crisis, but for its long-term future.
