Gurudwara Etiquette

Before Entering:
Dress modestly (cover shoulders/legs), cover your head with a scarf (not a hat), and remove shoes before entering.
Inside:
Maintain silence, phones off, and show respect to the Guru Granth Sahib by bowing or standing quietly.
Sit on the floor (men/women often separate), don’t point feet toward the scripture. Accept prashad (blessed food offering) with your right hand.
Langar:
Free vegetarian meal for all. Wash hands, sit on the floor with others, take only what you can finish, and return utensils.
General:
No smoking, alcohol, or drugs.
Ask politely if unsure.
