Takht – a feature of the gurdwara (place of worship). A structure with a raised seat on which the Guru Granth Sahid (Sikh holy book) sits under a canopy

(Pronounced tact)

Note: The Guru Granth Sahid, although a large book, is considered to be a living guru.

To remember the meaning of Takht in Sikhism, use the following mnemonic:

She had no tact (takht) – she sat on a raised seat next to the guru and dared to lecture them about their own bad manners.
