Gurdwara Karte Parwan, Sikh temple in Karte Parwan district, Kabul, Afghanistan

Gurdwara Karte Parwan is a Sikh place of assembly and worship in the Karte Parwan neighbourhood of Kabul, Afghanistan. It is one of the main gurdwaras in Central Asia. The road outside was widened before 2009, reducing the two rows of buildings and the courtyard.

Gurdwara Karte Parwan was built in the 1960s, when thousands of Sikhs lived in Kabul. After the Soviet-Afghan War began in 1979, most of the community left for India, Pakistan and other countries; by 2008 about 2,500 to 3,000 Sikhs and Hindus remained in Afghanistan. Just before 2009 the road outside was widened, shrinking the courtyard and two rows of buildings. On 5 October 2021 armed men entered and damaged furniture, walls, windows and security cameras; on 18 June 2022 ISIS-K militants stormed the gurdwara and fired at worshippers, and three attackers were killed in the gunfight.

The name gurdwara means "Gateway to the Guru", and the Karte Parwan gurdwara serves Kabul's Sikh community as a place of assembly and worship. It is counted among the main gurdwaras of Central Asia. Visitors see an Afghan Sikh congregation whose numbers fell sharply after 1979, when many families left for India and Pakistan; some returned after late 2001.

The road outside the gurdwara was widened shortly before 2009, cutting back two rows of buildings and shrinking the courtyard, so the entrance now sits close to the roadway. The site has been stormed twice in recent years, in October 2021 and June 2022, so check current conditions locally before setting out.

The road outside the gurdwara was widened shortly before 2009, and the two rows of buildings and the courtyard were reduced in size to make way for it. The name Karte Parwan comes from the Kabul neighbourhood that surrounds it.
