Cochin Sikhs

Kochi is home to the Punjabi speaking Sikh community in Kerala as the coastal city has the most number of Sikhs in the south Indian state. Many of the Kerala's Punjabi Sikh community are in the automobile spare parts industry. The only gurudwara in Kerala is also located in Kochi. Every Sunday and Wednesday, the Sikh families of Kochi assemble at the gurudwara in the city. And after the prayers, they take food from the Guru Ka Langar, the community kitchen. The first waves of Sikh migration to the city date back to the first two decades of 20th century.
