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.

On the avtar Gurpurab of Guru Har Rai Ji, eleven students completed their 'Santha Sehaj Paat' of Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Thev not only learned the pronunciations of Gurbani, but also countless meanings and definitions. They learned the art of reading Gurbani 'Larivar' where every word is joined together. Most of these students have been attending Gurbani Santha classes at Guru Tegh Bahadur Gurudwara, Leicester since they were small children. This was a heart warming moment to see for all the congregation. We are proud of these students and congratulate their long term efforts
The following students stood in the Ardas for completion that was led bv Giani Jaswinder Singh Ji:
Alam Singh (since age 5)
Inderveer Singh (has attended since age 6)
Sukhraj Singh & Gurtaj Singh (attended since age 6)
Barinder Singh & Surinder Singh (since childhood) Sandeep Singh (since age 10)
Teghvir Singh (since age 6
Gurjit Singh (who grew his Kes)
Harcharan Singh
Gurjant Singh
We thank all the parents for their resilience, hard work and commitment to responsibly bring their children to the Gurdwara Sahib for these classes ... See MoreSee Less
