Gurdwara Sahib Melaka

Description:

• Devotees of Sikhism from all over Malaysia congregate each year at this well-maintained temple during the last weekend of May. The occasion marks the commemoration of the death of its former priest, Sohan Singh, who was elevated to a saint upon passing away. Inside the temple, first time visitors will be struck by a distinct sense of tranquility and sacredness. The almost surreal calm is punctuated only by the incessant chanting of the in-house priests, thus beginning an invaluable introduction to the religion. Visitors are welcome but advised to follow rules and common practices within the premises.
