 Donations, which may include grocery for the kitchen, money or both, are placed respectfully in front of the Guru Granth Sahib or in the money box.Devotees then sit on the carpeted floor of the divan hall, taking care not to turn their back to the Guru Granth Sahib or point their feet at it, as doing so would show disrespect.Women generally sit on one side and men on the other side of the hall.
