Gurdwara Karte Parwan

The white marble structure of Gurdwara Karte Parwan stands as a central religious facility for Sikhs in the northern section of Kabul city.

In June 2022, the gurdwara endured a devastating attack involving multiple assailants, resulting in casualties and prompting international concern for religious minorities in Afghanistan.

The gurdwara maintains traditional Sikh practices, including daily readings of the Guru Granth Sahib and regular distribution of langar meals to all visitors.

Security measures at the gurdwara include multiple checkpoints, identification verification, and coordination with local authorities to ensure worshiper protection.

This gurdwara represents one of the last remaining Sikh temples in Afghanistan, where the community has decreased from thousands to fewer than 100 members.
