Sikh public worship can be led by any Sikh, male or female, whoever is competent to do so.
- No Priests in the Gurdwara
Sikhs do not have ordained priests, any Sikh can lead the prayers, and recite the scriptures to the congregation. Each Gurdwara has a Granthi who organises the daily services and reads from the Guru Granth Sahib.
- No Pictures or Statues
There are no idols, statues, or religious pictures in a Gurdwara, because Sikhs worship only God, and they regard God as having no physical form. Nor are there candles, incense, or bells, or any other ritualistic devices.
Worship, festivals and holy days
The main day for Sikhs to go to the Gurdwara or temple for worship in Britain is Sunday. This is not for any religious reason, but because Sunday is the day most people in Britain do not work.

As being Sikh, sikhs workship the only ONE god, they dont workship idols, they meditate on the almighties name, they respect each and every religion equally, in a sikh temple, the food is prepared for all cultures regardless of their religion, they give to charity and the needy.
They do not fast, as the belief in Sikhism is that it has no bearing to worship, it onyl causes un-necessary pain and suffering to the body and soul though making the person think about the health and food rather than the gods name.
Orthodox Sikhs remain as they were from birth in the sense that they dont change their appearance i.e. removing body hair. They believe that you should not alter gods creation in anyway.
And I should no better.....Sikhs do NOT worship like the Hindus. Sikhism is not a branch of hindus too.
