khanda

Represents the Khanda, the main symbol of Sikhism. The design combines a central double-edged sword, a circular Chakkar, and two curved Kirpan blades. Together, they stand for divine truth, justice, and the balance between spiritual and worldly duty.

As a religious emblem, the Khanda symbolizes courage, devotion, and equality. Sikhism is practiced by about 30 million people, mainly in India’s Punjab, with large communities in Canada, the UK, and the US.
