Prasad
Prasad (in shape of Halwa with main ingredients of wheat flour, sugar and ghee) is offered to all visitors in gurdwara without any distinction of status or caste. It has a very important religious significance because it is considered a blessed food by the Guru and it should not be refused to accept (if not accepted may be interpreted by Sikhs as an insult). As a sign of humility and respect, the visitors accept the Prasad sitting with hands raised and cupped. The offering and receiving of Prasad is a vital part of hospitality protocols.
