Caption

Where the hunt is on for a permanent home where the community can meet. At present they hire a community hall one morning a week, which sikhs say is simply not good enough for a religion where you are supposed to go to the temple every day.

FACTS

Most sikhs in Britain have links to the Punjab.

Sikhism accepts that all other faiths have a pathway to God, and includes prayers for other religions during services.

Most Gurdwaras operate a free kitchen, or "Langan" which give out free food to anyone who asks as part of the requirement of the faith is to look after the poor.
