ABSTRACT
The chief objects of worship with this society are Nának Sháh, and the Grantha, or sacred book of the Sikhs, to which on certain occasions flowers and other articles are offered, as is also done by the Nának-sháhís. Suthrá-sháhís are often Bráhmans, who do not discard the sacred cord on becoming Udásís. They eat with Bráhmans of their own tribe, but not with all grades of Sikhs. No Sikh, on the other hand, will refuse to partake of ‘Prasád’, or consecrated food, from them. The Suthrá-sháhís observe all the great Hindu festivals, and pay special adoration to the ‘Sálagrám’.
