Description: Prasad (in shape of Halwa with main ingredients of wheat flour, sugar and ghee) is offered to all visitors in gurdwara without any distinction of status or caste. It has a very important religious significance because it is considered a blessed food by the Guru and it should not be refused to accept (if not accepted may be interpreted by Sikhs as an insult). As a sign of humility and respect, the visitors accept the Prasad sitting with hands raised and cupped. The offering and receiving of Prasad is a vital part of hospitality protocols.
