Places of Worship in Jamshedpur

People in Jamshedpur are used to living in harmony, though they come from different places, backgrounds, religions and castes. All the festivals are celebrated with great enthusiasm. People regularly visit temples, Gurudwara and Churches. Their true religion actually lies in serving those in need by giving them education, shelter and clothing.

The good news is that most of these religious centres today have aligned their services to reaching out to poor people and giving grants for their treatment in a hospital or for their education. They have come out from the confines of religiosity and shaken hands with spirituality. A lot of social service, health camps, distribution of food and clothing is performed by these religious houses.

The Bistupur Gurudwara Sahib is a holy place of worship for the Sikhs. They offer prayers to Guru Granth Sahib.''Langar'' is held on special occasions and on Sundays in which food is offered to everyone irrespective of caste or creed, rich or poor. Every one sits together and enjoys ''parshada'' along with other eatables. ''Real prayer lies in service to mankind'' is aptly lived while carrying out ''seva''.

There are Gurudwaras in various localities of Jamshedpur. The white colour of the Gurudwara imparts a celestial look to it. There is Bistupur Gurudwara Sahib, Telco Gurudwara, Sonari Gurudwara and Sakchi Gurudwara. Guru Hargobind introduced the word ''Gurdwara'', which means ''gateway through which the Guru can be reached''.
