Members of Manchester's Sikh community witnessed the laying of the first foundation stones at the proposed site for the new Sri Guru Gobind Singh Gurdwara, Education and Cultural Centre in Whalley Range.
Labelled as a future iconic land mark for Manchester, over 700 people attended the special ceremony including the Lord Mayor of Manchester, Councillor Mark Hackett and other dignitaries, where a vegetarian breakfast, langar was served.
The members of the Sri Guru Gobind Singh Gurdwara have raised £1.1m towards the £2m project.
The completion of the new building is due on 14 March 2011 with the Grand opening ceremony coinciding with the Sikh festival of Vaisakhi in April.
