<span lang="EN-GB">Gurdwaras, the central religious institutions for Sikhs, hold significant spiritual and communal importance. These places of worship not only serve as sites for religious ceremonies and prayers but also function as community centers fostering social cohesion and service. Gurdwaras house the Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh holy scripture, where congregational prayers and hymns take place, emphasizing the teachings of the Sikh Gurus. Additionally, they offer Langar, a free community kitchen providing meals to all visitors irrespective of their backgrounds, promoting the principles of equality and service. Gurdwaras often host events such as Gurpurabs (celebrations of Guru anniversaries), Nagar Kirtans (religious processions), and community gatherings, fostering a sense of unity and collective devotion among Sikhs. Moreover, these institutions play a pivotal role in preserving Sikh traditions, offering educational programs on Sikh history, scripture, and culture, thus nurturing a deeper understanding of the faith among community members and visitors.</span>
