Historic Lahore Gurdwara Reopens for Sikh Worship After 79 Years
A historic Sikh shrine in Lahore, Pakistan, Gurdwara Chhevin Patshahi Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib, reopened for worship after 79 years, following restoration efforts. The gurdwara, linked to the sixth Sikh Guru, Guru Hargobind Sahib, was closed since the 1947 Partition. The reopening ceremony, attended by Sikh community members and Pakistani officials, marked the completion of restoration aimed at preserving Sikh heritage and improving facilities. Over 50 gurdwaras across Pakistan are undergoing similar renovations to support pilgrims and protect religious heritage.
