Sikhism Basics
The Golden Temple is the most sacred site in Sikhism, a monotheistic religion founded in the 15th century in this region. The five K's (kesh, kara, kanga, kachera, kirpan) are sacred articles of faith worn by observant Sikhs. The kirpan (ceremonial dagger) worn by Sikh men is a religious article, not a weapon — do not react with alarm.
Matha Tek (Bowing)
Sikhs bow (matha tek) before the Guru Granth Sahib — touching the forehead to the floor in front of the scripture. As a visitor, a respectful bow of the head is appropriate. Never step over the scripture or turn your back to it when leaving the sanctum — back out facing it.
