Sikh temple Gurdwara Protocol
Even Non-Sikhs must cover their head with a handkerchief or scarf. After entering the hall, where Guru Granth Sahib is kept, people must walk slowly, bow humbly, and touch their foreheads to the ground, out of respect and love for the Guru. The offering may be money, flowers, or words of thanks. Any sincere expression of thanks is equally acceptable to the Guru. Usually men sit on one side and women on the other. People sit in a cross-legged position. Talking or whispering is not allowed.
