This is the biggest Sikh Gurdwara in Pacific countries built in March 2005. The NZ Sikh Society managed two gurdwara Takanini and Otahuhu.
Sri Kalgidhar Gurdwara consists of a magnificent building housed on 8.6 acres of prime flat land in the Takanini suburb in Auckland.
This gurdwara has over 8000 regular attendees visit it over any given weekend, thus again making it the most visited place of worship in the country.
The foundation stone of this temple was laid by the traditional Punj Piaras in the presence of the then Prime Minister Helen Clark who was a regular visitor throughout her tenure as the leader of the nation. This project was completed in a record time of 2.5 years under the able leadership of Daljit Singh.
The building houses a modern stainless steel 220 sq. metre kitchen and a langar hall on the ground floor, with the main assembly hall on the first floor where a congregation in excess of 5000 can assemble and listen to kirtan in the presence of Guru Granth Sahib.
