The Gurdwara

The Gurdwara is the place where Sikh's come together for congretional worship.
The first Gurdwara was built by Guru Nanak.
There are four doors into a Gurdwara, known as the Door of Peace, the Door of Livelihood, the Door of Learning and the Door of Grace.
After service they all eat together in the Langar. They all sit on the floor to show that they everybody is equal.
The sikh holy book (the Guru Granth Sahib) is kept in it's own room, in the Gurdwara.
Anyone, of any faith, can visit the Gurdwara and will be made welcome.
Sikhs do not have ordained priests and any Sikh can lead the prayers and recite the scriptures to the congregation.
Each Gurdwara has a Granthi who organises the daily services and reads from the Guru Granth Sahib.
