The Sikh religion originated with Guru Nanak, in c.1500 AD. Guru Nanak taught people to believe in one supreme God and preached that getting married, raising a family and working hard were the foundations of a religious life. Guru Nanak passed on his leadership of this new religion to nine other Gurus which were his successors. The last living Guru, Guru Gobind Singh died in 1708.


Sikhs believe in the teachings of the Ten Gurus, which are enshrined in the Sikh holy book, called the "Guru Granth Sahib." The Guru Granth Sahib is written in its entirety in Gurmukhi. Gurmukhi was developed by the first Guru and then promoted by his successors, it was a language spoken and understood by all classes of people. The Guru Granth Sahib consists of 1430 pages, It begins with a Bani known as the Japji followed by the Sodar. It then resumes sections each known as a Rag - Musical composition. Within each of these Rags, the Bani is presented in Chronological order of Guru, followed by the Bhagats. Following the 32 Rags, a section known as the Rag Mala completes the Guru Granth Sahib. Every important ceremony is performed in the presence of the Holy guide Guru Granth Sahib. A Sikh place of worship is called Gurdwara.
