Brief History :
1955:
A Trust consisting of 11 committee members was formed to build and manage the Gurudwara.
The beginnings were very humble. Gurudwara was started in a front room of the building at Jl. Pasar Baru Timur No. 10, Jakarta.
As time went by and the community interest grew,the building was purchased with the active financial support of "Sadhsangat" (the devotees).
1970:
The front part of the Gurudwara was reconstructed as a double-story building. This was once again possible with the generous financial support of Sadhsangat.
1984:
The back portion of the Gurudwara was reconstructed as a double-story building linking to the front part.
2003:
The entire building was renovated. The building as it stands today is equipped with all essential modern day facilities and offers greater convenience to Sadhsangat.
Irrespective of its size and amenities,the Gurudwara building since its inception has always stood on the same location. It's registered with the Ministry of Religion, Republic of Indonesia.
During important celebrations,high-level officials including the Director General of the Hindu Religious affair, often visit the Temple. In the past, Asean Ministers, Indian Ministers, Worldwide Heritage Societies and other Women Associations have also visited the Temple. In addition to that, we also had Hindu's from Bali island visit the Temple.
Gurdwara links with the Indian Embassy quite harmoniously. We appreciate the frequent visits of the Indian Ambassador, andother high level officers to the Gurudwara.
Gurudwara offers devotional services in accordance with the religious teachings of Guru Nanak Dev and the subsequent Sikh Gurus that are enshrined in the holy Guru Granth Sahib. The Trustees make sure that the Gurudwara is strictly managed according to its constitutional objectives and bye-laws.
