KBG-29 San Jose Gurdwara California

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.












There were many who gave the correct answers to both the questions. We congratulate the following three readers who were the fastest:

  1. Narendra Soni, MSc Zoology, Superintendent Customs, keen traveller
  2. Anita Gambhir Arora, IT Professional, Management Consultant USA, loves history, hiking and travelling 
  3. Amandeep Kaur, PGDM Finance, works with Ryan LLC, likes to travel.

Thanks for browsing.
KBG-30 is coming soon!
