2. All visitors MUST cover their heads while in the main Gurdwara areas i.e.: (Darbar Sahib and Langar Hall)

Explanation

In Sikhism, covering the head is a sign of respect and humility when entering the Gurdwara, which is the place of worship. It is considered a religious protocol to cover the head while in the main Gurdwara areas, such as the Darbar Sahib (main prayer hall) and Langar Hall (community kitchen). This practice is followed by all visitors to show reverence and maintain the sanctity of the sacred space. Therefore, the statement "All visitors MUST cover their heads while in the main Gurdwara areas" is true.

The first room in a Gurdwara is typically the shoe room. This is because in Sikhism, it is customary to remove one's shoes before entering the Gurdwara as a sign of respect and cleanliness. The shoe room provides a designated space for visitors to leave their shoes before proceeding further into the Gurdwara. This practice is followed to maintain the sanctity of the religious space and to keep the Gurdwara clean.
