About the Sikh Ceremony
What is an Anand Karaj?
Anand Karaj ("blissful union") is the Sikh wedding ceremony. The couple circles the Guru Granth Sahib (the holy scripture) four times while hymns called Lavaan are sung. Each circle represents a vow. The ceremony typically lasts 1–2 hours.
What happens at the Gurdwara?
The Gurdwara (Sikh place of worship) is open to people of all faiths. Upon entering the prayer hall (Darbar Sahib), guests sit on the floor — men on one side, women on the other. Shoes are removed and heads are covered at all times inside.
Is langar (community meal) served?
Yes. Langar, a free vegetarian meal served to all visitors, is typically available after the ceremony. It is a central Sikh tradition of equality and community.
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
Photography is generally permitted, but please be respectful and keep noise to a minimum. Flash photography near the Guru Granth Sahib is not appropriate.
