Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Showing respect in the gurdwara To show respect in the gurdwara, Sikhs wash their hands, cover their heads and remove their shoes before they enter the diwan hall. They then walk towards the Guru Granth Sahib, bow in front of it and touch the floor to show respect.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Guru Granth Sahib is the authoritative sacred text for Sikhs. It contains 3, 000 hymns in various languages, with authors from multiple religious traditions. These hymns are sung during worship services held at the gurdwara, where the Guru Granth Sahib is displayed.

Detailed explanation-3: -When not being read, the volume is covered by red and gold cloths known as rumalas, and in many gurdwaras, after the late evening prayer, it is ceremonially carried to a special bedroom where it is laid to rest. Those Sikhs who keep the Guru Granth Sahib at home honour it in a room of its own.
