Like many fledgling religious communities, the beginnings of what became the Sikh Religious Society in Palatine were modest.

 

A small group of Sikhs who were putting down roots in the north and west suburbs of Chicago in the late 1960s and early 1970s — mostly Indian immigrants — formed a community, meeting at first in one another's homes. Later, they rented space from the Lombard Park District for Sunday worship.
