Gurmat Sangeet is a traditional Sikh musical form that involves the singing and playing of hymns from the Guru Granth Sahib, the central religious scripture of Sikhism. The term "Gurmat" refers to the teachings of the Gurus, and "Sangeet" means music. Thus, Gurmat Sangeet can be understood as "the music of the teachings of the Gurus."

This musical tradition is characterized by the use of specific ragas and talas (rhythmic patterns) as prescribed in the Guru Granth Sahib. The hymns, known as "Shabads," are composed in these ragas, and they are typically sung with devotional intent to convey spiritual messages. Traditional instruments used in Gurmat Sangeet include the Rabab, Taus, Dilruba, and Jori, among others.

Gurmat Sangeet plays a crucial role in Sikh worship and is an integral part of the daily services in Gurdwaras (Sikh temples). It emphasizes the spiritual and meditative aspects of music, aiming to create a sense of devotion and connection with the divine.
