Mai Da Gurdwara in Delhi takes its name from "Mai" (mother), reflecting the important role of women in Sikh history and spirituality. From Mata Nanaki, Guru Nanak's sister who was one of his earliest followers, to Mata Gujri who raised the four Sahibzade, to Mata Sundri who guided the Khalsa for forty years after Guru Gobind Singh's passing, Sikh women have been central to the faith's preservation and growth. This Gurdwara maintains the Sikh tradition of complete gender equality in worship, with all ceremonies and services open equally to men and women.
