Introduction
To the untrained eye, a Rumala Sahib may appear to be just decorative fabric. But in Sikhism, it holds sacred value—offered with love, respect, and devotion to Guru Granth Sahib Ji.
Symbol of Reverence
-
Rumalas are a spiritual offering, symbolizing humility and seva (selfless service).
-
They preserve the sanctity of the Guru Granth Sahib by covering it respectfully at all times.
Daily & Ceremonial Use
-
Daily Rumalas are often made of cotton or light silk, ideal for regular darbar use.
-
Ceremonial Rumalas, with heavy embroidery and zari work, are used during Gurpurabs, Akhand Paths, or personal milestones.
