Sikh Music
Sikh music is an integral part of the Sikh faith, primarily used in religious ceremonies and gatherings. It often features devotional songs called Shabads, which are hymns taken from the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture of Sikhism. Instruments like the harmonium and tabla are commonly used to accompany the singing, creating a rich auditory experience.
The music serves to enhance spiritual connection and community bonding among Sikhs. It is performed during various occasions, including Gurdwara services, festivals, and celebrations. The melodies and rhythms are designed to evoke emotions and inspire devotion, making Sikh music a vital aspect of the culture.
