A dharamshala, also written as dharmashala, is a public resthouse or shelter in the Indian subcontinent.[1] It also refers to Sikh places of worship before the introduction of Gurdwaras.[2] Just as sarai are for travellers and caravans, dharamshalas are built for religious travellers at pilgrimage sites. In Nepal there are dharamshalas especially built for pilgrims as well as dharamshalas for locals.
