Vermont Gurdwara Sikh

Vermont Gurdwara is a Sikh temple located at, 1966 N Vermont Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90027. The temple is committed to be real and relevant. They do not claim to have it all together as a Gurudwara, but they do endeavor to be honest about their love for WaheGuru (one God) and the desire for people to connect with God. Whether you are an adult, student or child, Vermont Gurdwara has something uniquely tailored with you in mind.

Vermont Gurdwara is located in the Loz Feliz region, in a well kept-up middle class neighborhood in the Los Angeles suburb area. Most members who attend the Vermont Gurdwara temple dresses up in tradition Sikh costumes, the Sikh men wears Kurta Pajama and Sikh Women wears Salwar and Kamez. 

Founded over 55 years ago, the Vermont Gurdwara - which translates literally to "gateway to the guru" - is the first Sikh house of worship in Los Angeles. One of five listed Sikh houses of worship in Los Angeles, the white edifice maintains sleeping accommodations for more than two-dozen practicing Sikhs and a full, cafeteria-style kitchen for the Sikh practice of Langar, a free, community meal. The Gurdwara has a spacious prayer room that holds more than 200 people during their Sunday prayers.

Nimana, the Gurdwara's head priest, shared with us that once people come to the Gurdwara, it's fairly common for them to stay involved with the community. He estimated that 80 percent of the number of Sikhs living in Los Angeles that have come to pray at the Vermont Gurdwara have continued their connection.

The Vermont Gurdwara is a very welcoming temple. "Whether you're Sikh or a non-Sikh, everyone is welcome here... That's what Sikhism is all about."
