In Sikhism Karah Parshad is a type of semolina halva made with equal portions of whole wheat flour butter and sugar. It is offered to all visitors to the Darbar Sahib in a Gurdwara. It is regarded as food blessed by the guru and should not be refused. As it has a very high sugar and oil content visitors may ask the Sewadar for a small portion. As a sign of humility and respect visitors accept the Karah Parshad sitting with hands raised and cupped.
