Dhaka, Sep. 5 : While one can find Gurudwarars or Sikh shrines, in almost every part of the world, the Gurudwara Nanak Shahi in Bangaladesh’s national capital holds a great significance among visitors here.

Described to be the largest of the seven well-known Gurdwaras in the Bangladesh, Gurdwara Nanak Shahi enjoys great historic significance as it commemorates the visit of first Sikh Guru Nanak Dev to Dhaka.

Devotees slowly begin to gather for the weekly prayer. Men and women with traditional headgears assemble around the head priest and the holy book.
