Visitors say that it is even more beautiful than the Golden Temple of Amritsar . The only Gurdwara of its kind in the modern world, some are even comparing Kandhari to erstwhile kings, who made such iconic monuments of importance during their rule. A beautiful fact in religious harmony, when he brings home historic significance that the foundation stone of the Golden Temple was laid by Muslim Saint Hazrat Mian Mir and land donated now by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai. Large part of the 65 million dirham spent on making it has been spared by Kandhari himself. Heavenly spirituality meets with earthly opulence. A spectacular combine made possible by the will of God, through his chosen man, Surinder Singh Kandhari.
From 24 carat gold canopies to exclusive Italian marble, the temple of worship is a masterpiece in architecture, aesthetics & grandeur, all in the name of God.
The serenity as you enter is just the same as one would find in any other place of worship. But behind the faith lies six years of toil and treasure spending in what stands as an icon of Sikhism in the Middle East . Situated in Jebel Ali, a prominent location, measuring 100, 000 sq ft spread across four levels, it is visited by hundreds of devotees from across the globe.
The building contractor has guaranteed the structure for 100 years. It has high sped silent lifts. The kitchen is made & manned to five star standards. "I told the ruler that one can't surpass the Golden Temple but what we will have is the most modern Gurdwara in the world" said Kandhari, chairman of the Al Dobowi Group, and one of the most prominent NRI’s in the Middle East . The community box collections are already very high which pleases the management as they plan to spend it all in binding the Indian – Pakistan community closer. The next steps unveil opening of hospitals & schools for public good, as well as teaching native languages and religious strictures.
"JO BOLE SO NIHAL, SAT SRI AKAL".
