Khanda

The Khanda is a significant symbol in Sikhism, representing spiritual and temporal authority. It features a double-edged sword at the center, symbolizing divine justice and the power to cut through falsehood. Surrounding it is a circular emblem called the chakkar, representing unity, eternity, and the universe's wholeness. Flanking the Khanda are two single-edged swords known as kirpans, symbolizing the readiness to defend righteousness and uphold justice. Together, the Khanda conveys the core Sikh values of spiritual devotion, justice, and protection of all humanity.
