Darbar Sahib

"In the phrase “Darbar Sahib”, the word Darbar means Court and so together it refers to the “Guru’s Court”. This is the hall where the current and perpetual Guru of the Sikh, Sri Guru Granth Sahib (the holy book) is placed on a Takhat or Throne in a prominent central position in the hall. The temple serves more than 600 families and is always occupied with functions such as prayers, weddings or funerals in the hall. Guru Granth Sahib is more than just a scripture to the Sikhs. They regard and respect the Granth (holy book) as their 11th Guru. The revealed holy text spans 1430 pages and contains the actual words spoken by the founders of the Sikh religion (the Ten Gurus of Sikhism). Guru Granth Sahib was bestowed the Guruship by the last of the human form Sikh Masters, Guru Gobind Singh Ji in 1708. Before passing away, Guru Gobind Singh Ji decreed that the Sikhs were to regard the Granth Sahib as their next and everlasting Guru."
