Sikh heritage

Sikh heritage is rooted in the teachings of Guru Nanak, the first Sikh Guru, founded in the 15th century in Punjab, India. It emphasizes egalitarianism, community service, and devotion to one God. The central text, the Guru Granth Sahib, is a compilation of hymns that guide spiritual and moral living. Sikhs practice key values like honesty, sharing with others, and selfless service. The community is recognized for its distinctive identity, including the Five Ks, symbols of faith. Sikh gurdwaras (places of worship) are places for collective prayer, education, and community meals, reflecting the faith's emphasis on unity and compassion.
