What is the place of worship for Sikhs?

• A. Synagogue
• B. Church
• C. Gurdwara
• D. Temple

Answer: (C)

Sikhs worship in a gurdwara, which is their place of worship and community hub. The word gurdwara means “gateway to the guru,” highlighting its role as a place where the Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh holy scripture, is kept and honored. In a gurdwara, people gather to sing hymns, read from the scripture, and share the langar, a free community meal that reflects equality for all people.

Other religious houses have different names: a synagogue is the Jewish house of worship, a church is for Christians, and a temple is used in Hinduism, Buddhism, and some other traditions. For Sikhs, the specific term for their place of worship is gurdwara. The Golden Temple in Amritsar is the holiest gurdwara and a central spiritual site for Sikhs.
