Every gurdwara must contain a room with a bed. Every night, the Guru Granth Sahib is taken from the takht, the raised platform in the prayer hall, and carried into the bed. Every morning, the Guru Granth Sahib is taken from the bed and carried to the takht. This shows the respect that Sikhs have for the Guru Granth Sahib. It is a symbol that they treat the holy book like a human religious teacher. Just as humans go to bed at night, so the holy book is put to bed at night. |
