Bahrain is an important small country in the Arabian Gulf which is actually an archipelago of 33 islets but most of them are uninhabited. Bahrain was the country were the first oil in the Arabian Gulf was discovered in 1932. Some scholars say that the Garden of Eden is the area comprising present day Bahrain. India has good ties with Bahrain. There is 60-100 year old temple and about 6 Gurudwaras.
