Ardas is a Sikh prayer that is performed before and after significant events or gatherings, including weddings. It is a collective prayer that seeks blessings, guidance, and protection from the divine. Ardas is typically led by a Sikh Granthi (religious leader) or an elder within the community.
During the Ardas, the congregation stands with folded hands as the prayer is recited. The Granthi or the designated person offers the Ardas, which includes sections of invocation, historical references, and supplication. The Ardas expresses gratitude, seeks blessings for the couple, and asks for divine guidance throughout their married life.
