Information about gurdwara.

in gurdwara •  6 years ago 

A gurdwara (Punjabi: ਗੁਰਦੁਆਰਾ, gurduārā or ਗੁਰਦਵਾਰਾ, gurdwārā; meaning "door to the guru") is a place of worship for Sikhs. 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 current and everlasting guru of the Sikhs, the scripture Guru Granth Sahib, is placed on a takhalmmlolt (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 congregation.

All gurdwaras have a langar hall, where people can eat free vegetarian food brought in by Sikhs worshiping at the gurdwara.[1] They may also have a library, nursery, classroom, meeting rooms, a gift shop, and finally a repair shop.[2] A gurdwara can be identified from a distance by tall flagpoles bearing the Nishan Sahib, the Sikh flag.

Very true said. I like the spirit.

Gurudwara is really an exception from the real world. It is a place where actually humanity still exists. Money is not everything, one realises this here.

Many rich peoples will clean shoes and wash plates there....
