Visitors are welcomed to participate in the continuous reading and singing of the Guru Granth Sahib Ji — the eternal living Guru of the Sikhs — as well as attend kirtan (devotional music), katha (scriptural discourse), and Ardas (communal prayer). The gurdwara serves as far more than a house of prayer.
