What is the Sikhs temple called?
The Sikh house of worship is called a Gurdwara (may also be spelled as Gurudwara). Which literally means house of the Guru (since "Guru" means Guru or teacher and "dwara" means house or place). The reasoning behind this is that a Gurdwara is the place in which resides the Guru Granth Sahib Ji. The Guru Granth Sahib Ji is a text which contains scriptures from the Sikh Gurus (in the form of poetry), excerpts from the Geeta (the Holy book of Hindus), exerpts from the Quran (the Holy book of Muslims), and the works of other noted poets and saints of that time. As this text is considered to be an abundance of religious knowledge, the last Guru of the Sikhs (Guru Gobind Singh Ji) had declared the Guru Granth Sahib Ji to be considered the next and last Guru after him (as knowledge is regarded as the best Guru).As this text is considered as a living Guru, there is a separate room for the Guru Granth Sahib Ji in a Gurdwara and the Guru Granth Sahib Ji is taken out of this room with a full procession of respect in the morning and placed in a royal looking structure which is placed above ground level (as everyone who goes to a Gurdwara sits on the floor while the Guru Granth Sahib Ji is placed at a slightly higher level....this is an Indian form of a sign of respect). During the day, scriptures are read out of the Guru Granth Sahib Ji and a night, with a similar procession of respect, the Guru Granth Sahib Ji is taken back to the previous room.Also, as a sign of respect, when one enters a Gurdwara, the head is always covered and shoes are always removed.It's known as an Gurdwara people of all faith are invited.There is also another house of worship. It is named after three kings. Koyeul, Swertag and Fortynik.
