The most famous and holy of the sikh temples is the Golden temple Amritsar in the punjab. The oldest copy of the Guru Granth sahib is kept in this temple and many Sikhs make a pilgrimage to visit it. The Sikh place of worship is called the Gurdwara. People go to the Gurdwara for Sangat, which is prayer. The word Gurdwara comes from two words Guru and dwara.
Guru means teacher.
It is considered a disgrace if you enter the Gurudwara with shoes on so when people go to the Gurdwara they take off their shoes and leave them in the hall. Many Gurdwaras fly a yellow triangular shaped flag. The flag represents a holy place for Sikhs. The flag is called Nishan Sahib. Sikhs believe that eveyone is equal.
