Darbar Sahib refers to the main hall within a Sikh gurdwara. This hall is where the holy text, current and perpetual Guru of the Sikhs, the Guru Granth Sahib is placed on a takhat or throne in a prominent central position in the hall.

The Darbar Sahib may also be used to refer explicitly to the inner sanctum of the Harimandir Sahib.

Darbar Sahib - Diwan Hall - Darbar Sahib Worship takes place in the Diwan Hall. (prayer hall). In the diwan hall, there are people playing worship hymns from the guru granth sahib.

All people, visitors and Sikhs, who go there every day, have to sit on the floor, cross-legged, because their feet aren't allowed to point towards the Guru Granth Sahib. The Guru Granth Sahib is the living Guru and should be treated with the utmost respect. As The Guru is all-pervading, there is no place where a persons feet are not pointing at The Guru. Nonetheless, it is a sign of respect to sit cross-legged. Sitting cross-legged is also the traditional and optimal posture for deep meditation. Furthermore, this is an act of equality to all people. Instead of some people standing, some people sitting on chairs and some people sitting on the floor, everybody sits on the floor so nobody is 'higher' than anybody else.

Raja Sir Harnam Singh, KCIE (Punjabi: ਹਰਨਾਮ ਸਿੰਘ (Gurumukhi), हरनाम सिंह (Devanagari), ہرنام سنگھ (Shahmukhi)) (15 November 1851 - 20 May 1930) was the second son of Raja Sir Randhar Singh Bahadur, GCSI, Raja of Kapurthala and younger brother of Raja Karak Singh Bahadur, Kaiser-i-Hind, Raja of Kapurthala. Kharak Singh succeeded to the Kapurthala throne and died without any issue. Naturally Harnam Singh should have succeeded him as his younger brother but due to the dirty politics in connivance with the bribed british resident and a corrupt Civil Surgeon who declared the Maharani to be pregnant when his( Kharak Singh) husband was on the death bed , a unrelated child was smuggled into the palace and became heir to the Kapurthala throne with the name of JAGATJIT SINGH. Thus Harnam Singh was deprived of the throne but as a corrective measure the British Govt made Harnam Singh a hereditary Raja, awarded a Knighthood, KCSI, gave administration of his Awadh properties for his lifetime , an move which was objected by Jagatjit Singh but in vain.
