Gurdwaras near Artesia and Cerritos

Why I wrote this guide

I lived in Artesia and Cerritos. This guide lists two gurdwaras a drive away in Orange County, each with a link to the page where its address and programs are published, so you can check the details before you go.

Gurdwara Singh Sabha, Buena Park

Gurdwara Singh Sabha is at 7122 Orangethorpe Ave in Buena Park. Its directory listing shows daily Nitnem from 6:30 to 7:15 in the morning, Sukhmani Sahib at 10 on Sunday morning followed by kirtan from 11 to 1, and an evening program on Thursdays. Langar is listed too, with langar tables. The listing gives no langar times, so call ahead or check with the gurdwara before you plan around langar.

Sikh Center of Orange County, Santa Ana

Farther south, the Sikh Center of Orange County is at 2514 W Warner Ave in Santa Ana. Its own site publishes a weekly schedule: Asa Ki Var on Sunday mornings with langar after the morning divan, an afternoon kirtan divan on Sundays also followed by langar, morning Nitnem on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, and evening Rehras Sahib from Monday to Saturday. The schedule also lists langar on Tuesday evening, Wednesday midday, and Saturday morning. Langar seva can be booked through its site.

Getting there from Artesia and Cerritos

Both gurdwaras are a drive east or southeast of Artesia and Cerritos. For Buena Park, I take the 91 freeway east into Buena Park and follow the map to Orangethorpe Avenue. Santa Ana is farther, in central Orange County, so I check the route and traffic on a map before I leave.
