Gurdwara Guru Nanak Punjabi Sabha Chakala, Sikh temple in Chakala, Mumbai, India
Gurdwara Guru Nanak Punjabi Sabha is a Sikh temple located on Andheri Kurla Road in Mumbai, designed with traditional religious architectural features. The building contains a large prayer hall that holds hundreds of worshippers and includes ground floor shops that support the facility's operations.
Construction of this temple began in 1956 after Dr. Shamsher Singh Jolly purchased the land and was completed in 1957. The site later expanded to include additional facilities beyond the main worship space.
The temple serves as a gathering place where visitors experience daily prayers and communal meals shared freely with everyone. This practice of feeding guests reflects a core Sikh belief in equality and service to all people.
The temple is open during regular prayer times and visitors should wear appropriate clothing and remove shoes before entering the worship area. The facility welcomes people of all backgrounds and provides a welcoming space for spiritual visits.
The complex grew from humble beginnings when its founder organized kirtan events in a simple outbuilding before the main temple was built. This grassroots origin reflects how local spiritual communities develop and expand to serve their members.
