Masjid-e-Hindan explained

The Masjid-e-Hindan (Persian: مسجد هندان, "Mosque of the Indians") is a Sikh gurdwara in Tehran, Iran.[1] The gurdwara was established in 1941 and serves Tehran's very small Sikh community.[2] [3] Despite its name, the complex is not an Islamic Mosque, and is given its name due to the Muslim majority in Iran.
