• A. Sikhism
• B. Hinduism
• C. Islam
• D. Christianity

Answer: (A)

In Sikhism, the place of worship is the Gurdwara. A Gurdwara is where Sikhs gather to pray, sing hymns, and read from the Guru Granth Sahib, which is treated as the living Guru. It houses the scripture on a raised throne and often features a community kitchen where Langar, a free meal, is served to people of all backgrounds. People also do seva, or voluntary service, as a way of serving others. This space is not just for individual prayers but for community life, learning, and service, reflecting core values of equality and devotion.

Different traditions have their own worship spaces: Hindus worship in temples (mandirs), Muslims in mosques (masjids), and Christians in churches. The Gurdwara is the specific term for the Sikh place of worship.
