Abstract

The article discusses worship and rites in Sikhism as an important part of the religious life of residents of northwestern India and other regions where adherents of this religion live. The questions of the origin and development of these phenomena are analyzed. Numerous examples show the diversity and importance of the system of rites and rituals in ancient and modern society. It is noted that the activities and heritage of wanderers are significant material for studying the culture of India. The most visited religious objects are distinguished: first of all, sacred cities, gourdwaras. For millions of Sikhs, a reverent attitude towards the object of worship serves as the fulfillment of the will of ten gurus, the founders of religion. The purpose of the study is to identify the features of pilgrimage and rituals in the Sikh religion, to show the influence of historical, geographical, cultural factors on their formation.
