Besides above Gurdwara is used for,
1. Learning Punjabi,
2,Learning Tabla and Keertan,
3. Learning recitation of scriptures of Guru Granth Sahib and other scriptures of 10th Guru and Bhai Gurdassji.
4. taking coaching of meaning of the scriptures.
5. Religious books library and
6. Free medical care clinic.etc etc.
Except above Gurudwara is a place where the pupils/disciples/followers Sikhs are baptized, hence given the unique identification of a baptized(Amritdhari) Sikh. Here it is necessary to mention that we may have faith in Sikhism, but the true Guru gives more importance to baptized Sikhs and guides spiritually to His disciples. This is just like the enrollment in some institution and only then that institution issues their I. Card. After baptism all religious practice of a Sikh, like chanting name singing praises etc are suitably accounted for with the Lord God and true Guru.
As a public place Gurudwara is of great importance like meetings for religious resolutions. arranging Guru festivals of Their births and uniting with Lord God days.
Langer Hall is there for having lunch or brunch. Personal functions can also be arranged there being economical.
Another great importance of Gurdwara is marriage ceremony in way of Sikh custom.
In short a Gurudwara is like the temples of other religions. Temples are like concrete banks on a river facilitating safe baths, where one can worship without disturbance with other similar devotee worshipers.
