On Wednesday 15th February we went to Glasgow Gurdwara to learn more about the religion Sikhism.

Once we got there we had to remove our shoes, wash our hands and wear head scarfs as a sign of respect and cleanliness. We then had a tour of the Gurdwara.

We saw where Sikhs put the Guru Granth Sahib to bed. They do this as they believe that the Guru Granth Sahib is a living Guru and should be treated like one.

We also saw where Sikhs sit to worship. It is a large hall with an alter where the Guru Granith Sahib sits to be read from. It is written by the 10 gurus as well as Hindu and Muslim saints.

We listened to different instruments that are used in special ceromines and even tried wearing a turban.

Finally we tried some vegetarian food in the Langar hall. We tried spicy lentil curry and chapattis.

We really enjoyed going to be Gurdwara and learning more about Sikhs.

We’ve decided to learn about Buddhists next.
