Thousands of Sikh devotees and people from other communities gathered in Hyderabad, India on September 20 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Central Gurudwara Sahib in Gowliguda.

The Prabhandak Committee of Central Gurudwara Sahib Gowliguda organised the event with support from Sikh Gurudwaras throughout Telangana. The celebration, called a ‘Vishaal Diwan’, included prayers, hymns, and discussions about equality, peace, and community harmony.

Religious leaders such as Sant Baba Kulwant Singh and Sant Baba Balwinder Singh Ji attended the event, along with Harmeet Singh Kalka, president of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee. The Gurudwara, founded in 1926, has provided religious and social services to Hyderabad for a century, and the celebration concluded with the serving of ‘Guru-Ka-Langar’, a free community kitchen open to all.
