Bani
Bani is a term that can refer to various concepts, but it is most commonly associated with the sacred hymns found in the Guru Granth Sahib, the central religious scripture of Sikhism. These hymns are composed in poetic form and are meant to be sung or recited during religious ceremonies and personal devotion. Bani emphasizes the importance of meditation, devotion to God, and living a truthful life.
In addition to its religious significance, Bani can also refer to a style of traditional Punjabi poetry. This form of poetry often explores themes of love, nature, and spirituality, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Punjab region. Bani in this context serves as a means of artistic expression and cultural identity.
