“Why Rumala Sahib Is More Than Just a Cloth”

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.

Closing Thoughts
Next time you place a Rumala Sahib on the Guru Granth Sahib, remember—it’s more than fabric. It’s an offering of love and faith.
