a history Gurudwara…
A Gurdwara, meaning the Gateway to the Guru, is the place of worship for Sikhs, the followers of Sikhism. This is a place where the Guru Granth Sahib is installed and treated with due respect according to the Sikh code of conduct and convention.
The main functions that are carried out in all public gurdwaras on a daily basis include:
- Shabad Kirtan: which is the singing of hymns from the Guru Granth Sahib
- Paath: which is religious discourse and reading of Gurbani from the Guru Granth Sahib, with its explanations
- Sangat and Pangat, a free community kitchen as a langar for all visitors, irrespective of religious, regional, cultural, racial, caste or class affiliations.
