Khanda Symbol - The Sacred Emblem of Sikh Faith and Identity #1999644 (License: Personal Use)

The Khanda is the central religious symbol of Sikhism, composed of a double-edged sword (Khanda) at its center, flanked by two crossed kirpans (swords) and encircled by a chakkar (ring). It embodies core Sikh principles: the oneness of God (chakkar), the balance of spiritual and temporal authority (khanda), and the commitment to defend righteousness (kirpans). Widely displayed in gurdwaras, Sikh literature, and personal insignia, it signifies faith, resilience, and equality.
