- Description
- Rumalla used to cover the Sri Guru Granth Sahib in the John Rylands Research Institute and Library. Rumalla is a Punjabi term for a square or rectangular piece of silk used to cover the Guru Granth Sahib in the Gurdwara (Sikh temple) when it is not being read. The Sikh Holy Scriptures are treated by the Sikhs like their living Gurus and as such no expense is spared in the furnishing for their current Guru, the Sri Guru Granth Sahib.
