Pictures of Sikh Gurudwaras around the sacred land of India, are posted right below the following write-up. Please don't miss viewing these beautiful pictures of these Holy Shrines.
A Gurdwara, meaning "Door to the Guru", is a place of worship for Sikhs (The Followers of Sikhism ). People from all faiths, and those who do not profess any faith, are welcomed in Sikh Gurdwaras. Each Gurdwara has a Darbar Sahib where the everlasting Guru of the Sikhs, the Sikh Holy Scripture Guru Granth Sahib, is placed on a Takhat (An Elevated Throne) in a prominent central position. The Raagis (who sing Ragas) recite, sing and explain, the verses from the Guru Granth Sahib, in the presence of the holy congregation.
All Gurdwaras have a Langar Hall, where the devotees & visitors can eat free vegetarian food. Many of the Gurudwaras also may have a library, nursery, classroom, meeting rooms, a gift-shop and finally a repair shop. A Gurdwara can be identified from a distance by tall flagpoles bearing the Nishan Sahib, the Sikh flag.
The most well-known Gurdwara & the most important pilgrim place of the Sikhs, is the Harmandir Sahib (popularly known as The Golden Temple) in Amritsar, Punjab, India.
