Nishan Sahib in the Sikh tradition means the “holy flag” or “exalted ensign” – a symbol representing the values of the Sikh faith. The Nishan sahib is shown respect by the Sikhs as it symbolises the inherent values of the Sikh faith – One God, equality of all humans, love & respect of all, life of service and dedication, etc.
The origin of the Nishan Sahib is traced to the time of Guru Hargobind, who hoisted a flag over the Akal Takhat (or Akal Bunga) at Amritsar, as it was erected in 1606. The flag, the first of its kind in Sikh tradition, was called Akal Dhuja (the immortal flag) or Satguru ka Nishan (standard of the true Guru).
Bhai kahn Singh Nabha writes- The original functions of the Gurdwara , one can see the logic of gurudwara needing a symbol that was visible from afar for sikhs. Its a symbol of chardikala also.
