The Masjid-e-Hindan (Script error: The function "langx" does not exist.) 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.[citation needed]
