Sikh Heritage
Sikh heritage is rooted in the teachings of the ten Gurus, with the first Guru, Guru Nanak, establishing the faith in the 15th century in the Punjab region of India. The core beliefs emphasize equality, community service, and devotion to one God. The Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture, is central to Sikh worship and contains hymns that guide followers in their spiritual journey.
The Golden Temple in Amritsar is a significant symbol of Sikh heritage, attracting millions of visitors each year. Sikh culture is also expressed through music, art, and festivals, such as Vaisakhi, which celebrates the harvest and the formation of the Khalsa, a collective body of initiated Sikhs.
