The Harmandir Sahib, a Sikh gurdwara and spiritual centre in Amritsar, India.
The first gurdwara was built in Kartarpur, on the banks of Ravi River in the Punjab region by the first Sikh guru, Guru Nanak Dev Ji in the year 1521. It now lies in the Narowal District of west Punjab (Pakistan). The worship centres were built as a place where Sikhs could gather to hear the guru give spiritual discourse and sing religious hymns in the praise of Waheguru. As the Sikh population continued to grow, Guru Hargobind, the sixth Sikh guru, introduced the word 'gurdwara'.
The etymology of the term 'Gurdwara' is from the words 'gur' (a reference to the Sikh Gurus) and 'dwara (gateway in Gurmukhi), together meaning 'the gateway through which the guru could be reached'.Thereafter, all Sikh places of worship came to be known as gurdwaras.
