The Sikh Foundation of Virginia was founded in 1989 as the first Gurdwara (Sikh Center) in the Washington D.C. area. Its mission is to propagate the teachings of Sikh Gurus and Guru Granth Sahib and to promote the religious, educational, cultural and social aspects of Sikhism. The Sikh Foundation holds weekly worship services on Thursday evenings and Sunday mornings. People of all faiths are invited to attend the weekly services and partake in a langar (communal meal) that follows each service.
