During our topic on ‘Special Places’ we have been identifying how religious buildings reflect the feelings of worshippers and discussing the ways in which a religious building is special. We were able to compare a Gurdwara to a Chapel or Church.  On our visit we observed  the: Nishan Sahib (flag), Manji Sahib (where the Guru Granth Sahib rests), seating on the carpet, the space for the musicians, or ‘Ragis’, the symbolic 5 Ks and illustrations of the Gurus. We found out how they are special in the Sikh religion.
