KHANDA SAHIB
Every religion in the world have their own insignia or symbol indicating that particular religion and its basic tenets. Thus, Khanda Sahib is insignia of Sikh religion. Its name is derived from Khanda which stands in the centre.

This consists of four parts (weapons) namely a Khanda, a Chakkar and two Swords.

KHANDA : This a double edged dagger with a pointed triangular shaped upper end. This a powerful weapon used in battle. In spiritual interpratation, it signifies a powerful means to distinguish truth from falsehood. Khanda was used by Guru Gobind Singh Ji for preparing Amrit by stirring it in the sweetened water kept in and iron Bowl (Baata).

CHAKKAR : This is an iron weopon circular in shape whose outer edges are sharp. Its circular

shape signifies God, who is endless having no begining and no end. This also signifies struggle for one’s life, liberty and rights. That is why Lord Krishna used Sudershan Chakkar as a powerful weapon in the war of Mahabharat.

SWORDS : Two swords in the outer periphery signifing two Kirpans of Miri and Piri. This philosphy of Miri and Piri i.e. Bhakti and Shakti was highlighted by Guru Har Gobind Sahib Ji - The Sixth Guru. He wore two Kirpans representing Miri and Piri.
