Gurdwara Nanak Shahi
Dhaka

University of Dhaka campus, near Shahbag, Dhaka, Dhaka Division 1205 · Bangladesh

Gurdwara Nanak Shahi stands on the campus of the University of Dhaka and is the largest and best known of Bangladesh’s handful of Gurdwaras. It honours Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s visit to Dhaka in the early 1500s and is said to have been built around 1830. The domed shrine was restored in 1988–89, when a parkarma verandah was added on all four sides. The sangat gathers on Friday afternoons, when visitors are welcome to join the prayers, and a Sikh research centre stands beside it. Buses to Shahbag and Dhaka University stop close by.
