Answer

A gurdwara is the place where Sikhs worship in common. Gurdwaras are made up of the following spaces:

- Entrance hall and shoe room (shoes are removed upon entering)

- School room(s) for the education of children; this is usually near the entrance

- Diwan hall which is where worship takes place with men and women sitting on separate sides. The Takht is found in the Diwan hall and is where the sacred scriptures (Guru Granth Sahib) is placed during worship. Paintings of gurus are normally to be seen on the wall behind the Takht.

- Rest room which is attached to the Diwan, and is where the Guru Granth Sahib is taken to 'rest' after worship or at the end of the day.

- Langar hall which is where worshippers eat after the service

- Kitchen for the preparation of the meal to be eaten after worship
