Granthi

A Granthi is a person trained in Sikhism responsible for performing the reading and chanting of the Guru Granth Sahib, the sacred scriptural text of Sikhism. This role involves handling the scripture with reverence, reciting prayers, and maintaining its proper care and presentation during religious ceremonies. The Granthi often leads congregational worship services, ensures the proper conduct during readings, and helps devotees understand the teachings. Essentially, the Granthi acts as a guardian and facilitator of the spiritual and ceremonial use of the Guru Granth Sahib within the Sikh community.
