Shri Guru Ravidass Temple in 's-Gravenhage (The Hague), Netherlands, is a prominent place of worship dedicated to Guru Ravidass, the revered 15th–16th century saint-poet of the Bhakti movement whose teachings form the spiritual foundation of the Ravidassia community. Located at Delftselaan 105, 2512 RC, The Hague, the temple serves as a vital religious and cultural hub for the South Asian diaspora settled in the greater Den Haag region and across the Netherlands. The temple follows the Ravidassia tradition, venerating the sacred scripture known as the Amritbani Guru Ravidass Ji and conducting daily prayers, kirtan (devotional singing), and community gatherings in accordance with the spiritual teachings of Guru Ravidass. His philosophy of equality, compassion, and the rejection of caste discrimination resonates deeply with the immigrant congregation that has worked to preserve its cultural and spiritual identity in the Netherlands. Shri Guru Ravidass Temple welcomes visitors of all faiths and backgrounds, reflecting the universal and inclusive spirit that defines gurdwara tradition. The temple organizes regular religious programs, gurpurabs (commemorative celebrations of the Guru's birth and other significant occasions), and social welfare activities that strengthen community bonds. It is one of several Sikh and Ravidassia temples operating in the Netherlands, alongside those in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and other Dutch cities. The temple functions as much more than a house of worship — it is a community center where newcomers receive guidance and support, where cultural events are held to keep the Punjabi heritage alive, and where the langar (community kitchen) offers free meals to all who visit. This ethos of seva (selfless service) and sarbat da bhala (well-being of all) is central to life at the temple.
