The double edge sword is called a Khanda

The sword is used to stir the immortalizing nectar of Amrit given to initiates to drink in the Sikh baptism ceremony.

The Khanda is a Sikh symbol representative of the Sikhs martial history and is displayed proudly by Sikhs in a variety of ways:

· Adorning the nishan sahib, the Sikh flag.

· Decorative ramalas draping the Guru Granth Sahib.

· As a pin worn on the turban.

· Appliquéd and embroidered on clothing.

· In poster form and artwork on wall.

· Computer graphics and wallpaper.

· Accompanying articles in print.

· On banners and on floats in parades.
