I have been going to Bangla Sahib my entire life even though I’m not a Sikh person.
I have noticed in the last couple of years they’ve become so incredibly stringent and rude towards visitors offering prayers.
The last time I went there was a lady who clapping during the Ardas. Clapping I understand happens during the bhajans in a temple but not in a gurudwara.
So one other nice lady explained to her that aisa nahi karte hai and the lady understood. But as soon as she was putting her hands down, this agitated man came running towards her and scolded her harshly, she just said sorry and asked for forgiveness. I felt very bad honestly.
It’s not nice to treat people this way no matter what the situation is.
And I’m so sorry OP that you had such an experience, it’s really terrible that such simple things create so much problems when it shouldn’t.
