Santa Clara's Silicon Valley Gurudwara started in late January 2012 when they had rented the Machado Park's community hall every Sunday for a year. With the help of sangat's donation & its community funding, SVG now found a new location at 2306 Walsh Ave, Santa Clara, where the gurudwara can operate 24/7 & hosts special events since it was limited to opening on Sunday alone in the past. They hope with the larger venue, the Gurudwara can also provide khalsa school for youths. With Guru ji's blessings, their dream was answered.
