  • Un granthi est un lecteur du livre saint des sikhs, le Guru Granth Sahib, dans le temple, le gurdwara lors des moments de prières. Le granthi est l'officiant principal du gurdwara. Mais dans son concept il n'est pas comparable au brahman, gardien héréditaire du temple hindou, au rabbin ou au prêtre du catholicisme. Le granthi est choisi par la communauté et peut ne pas être défrayé. (fr)
  • Um Granthi (em panjabi: ਗ੍ਰੰਥੀ, ˈɡɾənt̪ʰi) é uma pessoa, de qualquer gênero, da religião sique que exerce a função de leitor cerimonial do Sri Guru Granth Sahib, que é o livro sagrado do siquismo, frequentemente recitado aos devotos que frequentam os templos da religião, denominados gurudwaras. O nome Granthi vem do sânscrito granthika, que significa "relator" ou "narrador". Qualquer indivíduo sique indicado para a posição de Granthi é considerado como o principal oficial religioso sique. Ainda que seu ofício religioso seja considerado no siquismo, não se pode considerar que a função seja equivalente à de um sacerdote, em função da crença de que não haja tais intermediários religiosos.

  • Granthi – w sikhizmie mężczyzna lub kobieta, która otrzymała zaszczytną funkcję, związana z czytaniem i recytacją świętej księgi Guru Granth Sahib oraz prowadzenie ceremonii religijnych. Recytacja ta nosi nazwę . Przy obchodzeniu się z Księgą obowiązuje postawa pełna szacunku: księga musi być oprawiona w czyste płótno, nie należy jej kłaść na podłodze, przed dotknięciem należy umyć ręce i nakryć głowę. Osoba opiekująca się Księgą nie jest osobą duchowną, chodzi o funkcje honorową. W sikhizmie nie ma kleru, wybierana jest do tej funkcji osoba ciesząca się szczególnym poważaniem w lokalnej społeczności. (pl)
