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.

Join us for an exciting evening exploring the significance and beauty of keeping our Kes (Hair) and tying a Dastaar as Sikh women🤍
We’ll hear from our sisters about their personal journeys - from beginning to cover their Kes, to tying a Dastaar, the reasons behind their choices, and how their relationship with Sikhi has shaped their journey.
Whether you already keep your Kes or adorn a Dastaar, have thought about starting, or simply want to learn and understand more, this is a welcoming space to listen, ask questions and connect.
We’ll also have an optional Dastaar-tying workshop for anyone who would like to learn or practise.
If you’d like to take part in the workshop, please bring a Dastaar cloth if you have one (if not, we will provide them) and a small mirror if possible. No previous experience is needed☺️
