One Beat Foundation

In 1999, Bahadur Singh moved to Salem, Oregon. He launched a local business empire which provided him with a network in the community. Bahadur Singh is also the president of the local Sikh temple Dasmesh Darbar, the largest in Oregon. Here, he helps other Sikhs get into business. In October of 2005, Bahadur and others got a loan to purchase a former Lutheran church on Oakhill Avenue, which they turned into Salem’s first Sikh temple, Dasmesh Darbar Sikh Temple, the biggest in Oregon. This temple not only provided a temple closer in distance than Vancouver, Washington, but also drew local Sikh families in Oregon.
