Visiting the Gurdwara
The Sikh meeting place for worship is the gurdwara and means literally "guru’s door". Members of the Sikh congregation are called sangat. All people are welcome to visit any gurdwara regardless of caste, color, or creed. A visitor to the gurdwara is required to remove shoes, and cover the head. It is advisable to wear modest attire.
A gurdwara houses Siri Guru Granth Sahib and may be either a simple or elaborate building. The Nishan Sahib, Sikh flag, is installed on gurdwara grounds and flies high above the gurdwara complex, so that it can be seen by those approaching the gurudwara.
