Delaware Sikh congregation celebrates the opening of new center near Red Lion

Posted on Nov 14, 2011 in Mid-Atlantic, Religion | 0 comments

Congregants bowed as the Sikh book of scriptures left the crowded sanctuary at the conclusion of worship Sunday. In a separate room, adherents placed it on a platform and covered it with a cloth.

With care and reverence, the Sikh Center of Delaware this summer moved the volume of sacred writings, the Guru Granth Sahib, from the congregation’s old building in Elsmere to a new home, orgurdwara, near Red Lion.

The gurdwara hosts weekly worship and other festivities sacred to Sikhism, a mystical religion dating to 15th-century India.
