Anand Karaj
11:00 am - 3:00 pm
1911 Hobart Road, Indianapolis, IN 46203
The Anand Karaj is the Sikh wedding ceremony. During this beautiful tradition, a Babaji (a religious leader similar to a pastor) reads from the Guru Granth Sahib Ji, the holy scripture of Sikhism. As part of the ceremony, the couple completes four lavaan, walking in a circle around the Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Each round represents a deeper commitment to living a life of love, spirituality, and devotion to one another and to God. It’s a moment that reflects not just their union, but their shared values of compassion, equality, and community. Following the ceremony is the Langar, a traditional meal served to all guests. Guests attending the Anand Karaj must cover their heads upon entering the Sikh temple. Shoes must be removed before entering the prayer space, so slip-on footwear is recommended for convenience. Seating will be on the floor in traditional style, though chairs will be available for elders and anyone who may need them.
