Indian Sikh Holy Symbol: "Khanda"

This poster depicts the Sikh symbol of "khanda."

The khanda has three components. The central double-edged straight sword is called a "khanda." The sharp circular throwing weapon is the "chakkar." Two single-edge daggers, called "kirpans," are crossed at the bottom, framing the khanda and chakkar. They represent the integration of both spiritual and temporal sovereignty.

In the 1480s, Guru Nanak Dev founded the Sikh religion in what is now the Punjab region of Pakistan. Nanak preached that God is "supreme, all powerful and truthful, formless, fearless, without hate, the sole, the self-existent, the incomprehensible, everlasting creator of all things, and the eternal and absolute truth," making Sikhism a monotheistic religion. Sikhs believe that this god contains all gods that have ever been worshipped. He taught that all humans were equal in God's eyes and can have direct access to God without rituals or priests. The three mandates of Sikhism are: meditate on God, earn an honest living and share and care.
