Q: What is the man with the whisk doing?

The Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh holy scripture, is always treated with great respect.

Whenever it is in the darbar it is placed on cushions on a platform called the palki.

The palki is covered with a canopy called the takht and is usually beautifully decorated.
