The oldest Sikh Gurdwara (temple) in Ohio is located in a former church building in Richfield, south of Cleveland. Ohio's Bicentennial Commission honored this gurdwara with a historic marker in summer 2003. The Guru Nanak Foundation incorporated in 1976, and named after the first Sikh guru, renovated the building, adding a golden dome, and a hall for langar (communal meal). In the Sikh gurdwaras, the whole congregation sits on the ground in rows to partake of langar, thus emphasizing universal equality and humility.
