​In Sikhism, the Rumala Sahib is a sacred cloth used to cover the Guru Granth Sahib, the central religious scripture, when it is not being read. This practice symbolizes deep respect and devotion, reflecting the Sikh community's reverence for their eternal Guru. The Rumala Sahib serves to protect the scripture from dust and external elements, maintaining its cleanliness and purity. Devotees often present Rumala Sahib as an offering during religious ceremonies, viewing this act as a form of selfless service (sewa) and an expression of gratitude.
