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.

Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh
Ahead of the upcoming Management Committee election on Sunday, 27 September 2026, at Guru Tegh Bahadur Gurdwara Sahib, we would like to confirm that all groups will be given the opportunity to provide leaflets for posting on two occasions before the election.
Please provide the leaflets in packed envelopes with the required postage stamps already affixed. The Election Board will place the address labels on the envelopes. The group sending the leaflets will be responsible for the cost of postage, mailing and labels.
We would also like to make clear that leaflets must not contain personal attacks or comments directed towards any individual’s family members. Groups may raise concerns or make comments regarding the Committee or another group; however, any such statements must be credible, factual and supported by appropriate evidence. There should be no speculation, unsubstantiated allegations or personal attacks.
The Election Board reserves the right not to post any leaflet that does not comply with these requirements.
This arrangement will apply equally to all groups.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Kind regards,
GTB Election Board ... See MoreSee Less
