The place where Sikhs gather to worship with reverence and respect is called a Gurdwara<\/a> which literally means the Guru’s door.<\/p>

A Gurdwara meeting place<\/a> has no specific size or design. There is usually a\u00a0flag marked with the emblem of the Sikh coat of arms<\/a>. Most importantly, the one necessary feature is the presence of\u00a0Siri Guru Granth Sahib<\/a>, the\u00a0Sikh Scripture<\/a>, in the prayer hall.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
