Dibrugarh: A special ceremony was held on Sunday at the Shri Guru Singh Sabha Gurudwara in Dibrugarh, where four new scriptures (swaroop) of the Guru Granth Sahib were installed. The event drew a large gathering of Sikhs from the region, who came to witness the occasion and offer prayers.The gurudwara, built in 1919 and now 107 years old, is one of the most important Sikh places of worship in the area. The Guru Granth Sahib, considered the eternal guru by Sikhs, is treated with the highest respect. Each copy, known as a ‘swaroop’, contains 1,430 pages of hymns and teachings written in the Gurmukhi script.
Jaspal Singh Bhurji, president of the Shri Guru Singh Sabha Gurudwara committee, described the occasion as a moment of profound grace for the community. “This is a momentous day for our congregation. Every Sikh heart is filled with gratitude and humility today,” he said.Committee secretary Rupa Rani Kaur echoed the sentiment, adding, “We are honoured to uphold the sanctity of this institution that has served the Sikh community for over a century. The installation of new ‘swaroops’ renews our commitment to the guru’s teachings.”Simultaneously, six old ‘swaroops’, which had become worn and damaged through years of continuous, devoted use, were respectfully sent for Sanskar — a sacred ritual known as Agan Bheta — in accordance with established Sikh tradition.
