Lesson 15: What are Gurdwara Etiquettes?

You are reading this book because you go to a Khalsa

School to learn Punjabi and Gurmat. You go there once

a week. When you go to a Gurdwara, what all do you

see? What all do you do? Here are a few Gurdwara

etiquettes you should follow. Etiquettes are good

manners. Every place we go to has proper manners. We

even have etiquettes at home.

Before you enter the Gurdwara Sahib main hall, you

need to do a few things:

1. Remove shoes.

2. Wash your hands because you might have touched

your shoes.

3. If your feet are dirty, then you should wash your

feet also. We should have clean feet to keep the

carpets clean.

4. Cover your head with a chunni or scarf if you don’t

have one already. We always cover our head in

Gurdwara. This is a way to show respect.

5. Take some money with you to offer to Gurdwara if

your family can afford it.
