The Sikh Guru Nanak Gurdwara Temple in Bedford, Bedfordshire.

 

The religious organisation has been providing a spiritual base in Bedford for generations. After the foundation stone was laid in 1999 the new Gurdwara and Community Centre was completed in 2007.

 

It is a spectacular building visible from a great distance and built of pink Indian granite. The first Gurdwara in the UK designed by Indian stone masons according to traditional architecture and materials replicating the appearance of Indian Gurdwaras. The original building is a former social club and will be retained, linked to the new temple to serve as a community hall.

 

The complex has two prayer halls and one langar hall with adjoining kitchen. The complex also includes community centre which has its own kitchen and other amenities.
