Guru Tegh Bahadur Gurdwara -History
Sikhs have been settling in Leicester since the end of the Second World War. The opening of the Sikh Gurdwarasin Leicester, in 1960, reflects the growth of the city’s Sikh population. By 2011, the Sikh population of the city had risen to 14,457, representing 4.4% of the city’s population (compared to 0.8% nationally). This Sikh presence continues to contribute very significantly to the social, political and religious life of the city and is especially evident at the annual Vaisakhi celebrations, attracting thousands of people from across Leicester and the Midlands, to a march through the streets of the city centre.

Shaheedi Dihara of Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji: 'Dharam Di Chaadar' 🙏
Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, the ninth Guru Sahib, made the supreme sacrifice for the freedom of religion and human rights. They fearlessly stood against the forced conversion of Hindus in Kashmir during the Mughal era. Despite facing immense pressure and torture, Guru Sahib refused to convert to Islam and protected the rights of others to practice their faith freely.
Their martyrdom in Delhi in 1675 was a pivotal moment in Sikh history, emphasising the principles of selfless service, sacrifice and standing up for justice and equality for all.
