Shri Guru Granth Sahib

ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ

Here at Guru Nanak Temple we make the Granth Sahib available for anyone to read.

Please scroll down and click on the galleries to view the pages as written in the original Gurmukhi script.

The Sikh faith is open and inviting. Anyone who knows how to read Gurmukhi—man, woman or child, of any caste, creed or religion—is allowed to come and read the sacred scripture of the Sikhs.

The sacred book, called Sri Guru Granth Sahib (ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ), is the central component of any Sikh Temple. Just as any Christian church would be considered incomplete until a cross has been installed, the Sikhs view a Gurdwara to be incomplete until the Granth Sahib has been officially installed in the main prayer hall.

The final version of the Granth Sahib was compiled by the tenth Guru, Guru Gobind Singhji in 1704. It had 1430 pages, and this format is preserved in every official version of the Granth Sahib that is displayed at a Sikh temple.

We stay true to that format is the online version we have created below. Each page presented here corresponds faithfully to the printed pages one would find in an official edition.

To accommodate the large number of pages, we have split the 1430 pages into manageable galleries of 50 images each, arranged in sequence.

VIEWING NOTE: Our website is designed to be viewed easily on both computers and phones, but due to the large number of photographs on our site you will find it more enjoyable on larger screens.

This page, in particular, is best viewed on the larger screen of a computer or tablet, since the small phone screens may render the Guru Granth text unreadable.
