Places and ways of worship of Sikh


Gurudwara is a place where Sikhs worship to their God. It is a word that means “doorway to God” and is also referred to as the Sikh Temple. A Gurudwara always guards a Sikh Holy Book and it displays a triangular orange flag called the Nishan Sahib. A Gurudwara can hold hundreds of visitors together. Devotees sit cross-legged on the floor inside the Gurudwara praying and spending time with God. Before coming inside a gurudwara one must cover his/her head with a cloth and remove their shoes.  While walking inside the the Gurudwara one must walk slowly and respectfully to the dominant throne on where Guru Granth Sahib is placed. Then they stand before the Holy Scriptures and say a silent prayer, offer some coins, and then bow. Some of the most famous Gurudwaras in Delhi are Gurudwara Sis Ganj, Gurudwara Bangla Saheb, Gurudwara Nanak Piao, Gurudwara Majnu Tilla, etc.
