Akhand Paath

There are other ceremonies and observances in which Sikhs participate when the occasion arises. Akand Paath (unbroken recitation of the complete Siri Guru Granth Sahib, taking 48 hours for the original Gurmukhi, or 72 hours in English) is performed on special occasions such as birth, death, marriage, etc. However, no special occasion is required. Sikhs hold regular Akhand Paaths to uplift, inspire and elevate the participants, the community and the world.
