Sikhism is a monotheistic religion that places equality, justice and service to the community at its centre.
 In Lloret de Mar there is a Sikh presence, mainly originating from the Punjab region, who keep their religious and cultural traditions alive in their daily lives. The Sikh community is characterised by strong internal cohesion and an open, supportive attitude towards the rest of society.
 The usual languages are Punjabi —the language of the religious tradition— as well as Spanish and other everyday languages.
Sikhism was founded in the 15th century in the Punjab region of northern India, in a context marked by the coexistence of Hinduism and Islam.
 Its founder was Guru Nanak (1469–1539), who conveyed a spiritual message based on the belief in one God, the equality of all people and the rejection of social divisions, especially castes.
 After Nanak, nine more gurus continued his teaching until, in 1699, the tenth guru, Gobind Singh, consolidated the Sikh community with the foundation of the Khalsa, the community of committed believers in the principles of Sikhism.
 Today, Sikhism is practised all over the world, especially in India, but also in Europe, North America and other regions with migrant communities.
The Sikh place of worship is called a gurdwara, which literally means ‘the Guru's gate’. It is a space open to all people, regardless of their background or beliefs. Gurdwaras have no images or divine representations, and the central space is presided over by the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy book, considered the living spiritual guide of the community. In this space, the reading and singing of sacred hymns (kirtan), the explanation of the texts (katha) and langar, the community kitchen where free food is offered to everyone as an expression of equality and service, take place. Upon entering the gurdwara, one must remove one's shoes and cover one's head as a sign of respect.
Regarding the concept of divinity, Sikhism believes in a single God, called Waheguru, who has no physical form or representation. This God is the creator of all, present in all of creation and accessible to all people without intermediaries.
 This is not a distant God, but a presence that can be connected with through meditation, chanting and an ethical life.
The fundamental beliefs of Sikhism revolve around a life of coherence between faith and action.
 The human being is seen as responsible for their own actions, subject to the law of karma and the cycle of reincarnations, until they achieve spiritual liberation. Good and evil are defined by one's conduct: living with honesty, humility, generosity and respect towards others. Five main vices are rejected—lust, anger, greed, attachment and pride—considered obstacles to spiritual growth. The purpose of life is to constantly remember God, earn a living honestly and share with the community, especially with those in need.
One of the most characteristic elements of Sikhism is the combination of spirituality and social commitment. This identity is made visible through the so-called Five Ks, five elements that many followers wear as a symbol of their faith: uncut hair (kesh), the comb (kanga), the metal bracelet (kara), the undergarment (kachera) and the kirpan, a small symbolic dagger that represents the defence of justice and service to others. Also particularly distinctive is the langar, the community kitchen found in all gurdwaras, which practically expresses the principle of radical equality among all people.
