Panj Granthi
A Panj Granthi () is a small booklet which contains five hymns chosen from Guru Granth Sahib. Description The Guru Granth Sahib is very sacred so it can only be recited in a prescribed ritualistic manner. Small anthologies called Gutka Sahib or Panj Granthi began to be made for recitation of certain hymns in private setting. They are usually small and easily fit in the hand of a person.
