Gurdwārā (Pañjābī, gurduārā, ‘gateway of the
Gurū’). A building for Sikh congregational worship in which the
Ādi Granth is appropriately installed. A gurdwārā is characterized by its function of housing the Gurū, rather than by its architecture. An upstairs room in an ordinary house in which the Ādi Granth has been ceremonially installed can be a gurdwārā. Most famous is the impressive
Harimandir,
Amritsar. Many gurdwārās have historical associations with the Sikh Gurūs e.g.
Rakāb Gañj,
Śīś Gañj, and the
takhts.
The gurdwārā is primarily the place where the
sangat gather daily for
kīrtan to worship in the presence of the Gurū as embodied in the Ādi Granth, and it has a vital social function.
Gurpurbs and family rites are often celebrated in the gurdwārā.
Inside the gurdwārā prayer hall, furniture is minimal. The scriptures are enthroned on cushions on a
mañjī beneath a canopy. The floor is carpeted for the congregation to sit, men on one side, women on the other, facing the Ādi Granth.
