KBG-29 Kaun Banega Ghumakkad was a sell out! Because in US and other time zones, readers could access it during non-office hours. And the building in question came from their neighbourhood. More than 300 readers participated online within a day!
Simple to guess, the building shown in KBG-29 is the imposing Sikh Gurdwara in San Jose, California.
Located atop a hill on 40-acre plot, it took more than 10 years to complete. Last phase was completed in 2011 at a total cost of US $ 32 Mn. It came from loans and donations from the community in USA.
It is the largest Gurdwara in USA. It harnesses solar power and has a state of the art kitchen for preparing the langar for devotees and other visitors.
We visited the Gurdwara few years back. The pictures below narrate the story of our visit courtesy our hosts Lalita and Ananth Aisolas who live in San Jose. Special thanks to both of them.
Thanks for browsing.

Great. I think I visited this Gurudwara but I am not sure was it San Jose or some other town in California, my relative whom I visited at US was staying very near to the Gurudwara. I remember, we got piping hot Halwa prasad and it was nicely maintained
ReplyDeleteMust be the same Gurdwara Vinod. Thanks.
