   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

Nishan Sahib

Flagpole of Sikhism. The Sikh flag, the Nishan, is triangular in shape, saffron in colour, and displays the Sikh symbol, the khanda (double-edged sword) in the centre. The Nishan Sahib can be seen flying in a prominent position at Sikh shrines and all Sikh temples, gurdwaras. At the top of the tall flagpole supporting the flag will be found a second khanda.

Guru Hargobind introduced the use of the Nishan Sahib.
