I love the Sikh Mandir style architecture of the Gwadar expo centre - the quality of work and finish is way above what you normally see in Pakistan in similiar style scale projects. On the external aspect enough space has been given to pavements, pedestrians etc giving the look of a first world town. No doubt that is Chinese influence.

I think architecture is more to do with Oman than Sikh. As Gawadar had influence of Oman, so it makes sense as well.
