The Guru Granth Sahib is placed on a throne, known as the Takht or Palki, to signify its elevated status as the eternal Guru in Sikhism. This practice reflects deep respect and reverence for the scripture, which is considered the spiritual guide for Sikhs. The throne symbolizes honor and dignity, distinguishing the Guru Granth Sahib from ordinary texts and underscoring its pivotal role in guiding the lives of believers. Placing it on a throne also emphasizes the principle of humility, reminding devotees to approach the scripture with respect and devotion.
