Grand opening will be a festival with a procession, stalls, and dignitaries attending including First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.

According to Glasgow Live "Glagow's Sikh community is inviting everyone to the grand opening of their new temple in Finnieston tomorrow, known as a Gurdwara.

There are expected to be around 10,000 people turning out to see the £8 million Gurdwara in Berkeley Street which has taken 16 years of planning, fundraising and building.

Glasgow Live were given a sneak preview of the impressive building today, as last minute finishing touches were added.

The first Gurdwara was opened in South Portland Street in Glasgow in the 1950s and Sikhs have since become an integral part of the city's fabric. There are around 15,000 Sikhs in Scotland with majority living in the Glasgow area.

This new building is the first purpose build Gurdwara that the Glaswegian Sikhs have had, and their important place in the city is evident from when you first enter the building.

An exhibition detailing the history of the Sikh community in Glasgow adorns the walls of the foyer and first floor.

And like seen in Christian churches across the country there is a memorial to those Sikhs awarded the Victoria Cross during the First and Second World Wars.

The are also pictures showing the Sikh willingness to bring together people of all faiths in the city.

Representatives from various religions fill the pictures of the first brick being laid for the new Gurdwara.

And on the first floor is a picture of Gurdwara members meeting Pope Bendict XVI during his visit to Glasgow in 2010.

The the three story building is beautiful with ornate decorations and paintings of Gurus.

The marble flooring which runs throughout has been imported from India, and is a popular choice for Sikh temples.

Tomorrow there will be a procession through the streets of Finnieston as the Sikh holy scriptures are delivered into the temple and on to the Guru's Diwin on the second floor.

The Guru's Diwin is a large gold structure which raises the scriptures above the congregation.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and other dignitaries will be taking part in the procession.

Around 7000 are expected to enter inside the temple where they will all have to cover their heads and remove their shoes.

Jagdip Singh and Lakhvir Singh will have the important role of looking after everyone's shoes.

We also visited the Guru Ka Langar, or Guru's free kitchen, where food was being prepared for the grand opening.

Feeding each other, guests and the hungry is an important part of the Sikh religion.

The Gurdwara in Albert Drive, Glasgow, gives out 2000 meals a week.

Sixty per cent of the £8 million required to build the Gurdwara came from donations made by the congregation and non-Sikhs keen to support the project. The rest was secured with a loan.
