The Sikh prayer hall is called a
Gurdwara.
It's more than just a prayer hall; it's a place of worship, community gathering, and service. Key features of a Gurdwara include:
* The Guru Granth Sahib: The central holy scripture of Sikhism is enshrined within the Gurdwara, usually on a raised platform and under a canopy.
* Langar (community kitchen): Every Gurdwara has a Langar where free vegetarian meals are prepared and served to all visitors, regardless of religion, caste, gender, or social status.
* Nishan Sahib: A Sikh flag that flies outside the Gurdwara, indicating its presence.
The main prayer hall within the Gurdwara is typically called the Darbar Sahib.
