Swami Narain Mandir

Swami Narain Mandir

In the Swami Narain Mandir complex in Karachi, Pakistan where a small Hindu community lives, a Gurdwara has been created for the small Sikh community.

The Gurdwara Sahib houses three sets of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji in the Palki Sahib. There are pictures of the Gurus and a small shrine devoted to Guru Nanak Dev Ji. There is a Hindu bell in the Gurdwara Sahib as well.

The whole compound is protected by a security guard to protect the small Hindu families and prevent desecration.
