Takht (Sikhism)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The word Takht literally means 'seat of power' or 'throne of authority' and refers to one of the five bodies of authority for the Sikhs. Sometimes 'Takht' is spelled 'Takhat' or even 'Takat'.
These five authoritative bodies of power are:
- Akal Takht, at Amritsar
- Keshgarh Sahib, at Anandpur
- Patna Sahib, at Patna in Bihar
- Hazur Sahib, at Nanded in Maharashtra
- Damdama Sahib, in Talwandi Sabo, Bhatinda
