Makna Arsitektur Kuil Gurdwara Shree Guru Arjun Dev Ji di Sari Rejo (Studi Deskriptif Antropologi Arsitektur)

Abstract

Gurdwara is a place of worship for Sikhs. In Gurdwara architecture there are syncretic elements from various architectural traditions, including Hindu, Islamic and Mughal. Syncretism occurs due to the influence of various cultures in India. One example of syncretism in Gurdwara architecture is the use of building forms and ornaments from Hindu and Islamic architectural traditions. The results show that Gurdwara architecture has deep symbolic meaning for the Sikh community. The Gurdwara building was designed to reflect simplicity, equality and openness, which are important values in the Sikh religion. In addition, Gurdwara architecture also reflects Sikh philosophy and beliefs, such as the concept of “oneness”, the concept of karma, and the belief in the immortality of the soul
