London: A majestic gurdwara, stated to be the largest in Europe, with provision to accommodate 3,000 devotees at a time, was opened in the Sikh-dominated Southall in West London on March 30.

Built at a cost of 16 million Pounds, the marble-floored gurdwara has a covered area of 100,000 square feet, president of the Gurdwara Management Committee of Singh Sabha, Himmat Singh Sohi said.

Architect of the gurdwara, Richard Adams, visited the Golden Temple in Amritsar and several other gurdwaras in India to incorporate the best designs and panelling for the Southall gurdwara to make it a unique shrine in its design and architecture, he said.
