The city of Bradford and surrounding districts are home to a wealth of places of worship that contribute to the region's cultural heritage. These include Sikh gurdwaras and Hindu mandirs, Jewish synagogues and Buddhist centres, but mostly Christian churches and Muslim mosques. Due to a significant Pakistani (and to a lesser extent, Bangladeshi) population in the city, Islam has become prominent throughout the city. As well as there being a significant Muslim population, there is also a fairly large Indian immigrant community in Bradford. The area of Leeds Road probably has the largest Sikh population in the city, which is reflected by the number of Gurdwaras in the area. The area also has a significant number of Hindus, having the largest Hindu mandir in the North of England. Furthermore there is also a small Jewish population
