Amrit Vela is the pre-dawn period traditionally devoted to remembrance of God, meditation on the Divine Name, and prayer. Sikhs may rise during this quiet period for simran and the recitation of the morning Nitnem. Amrit Vela describes a period of spiritual practice rather than a single prescribed minute. The time shown here is a practical pre-sunrise reference.
Morning Nitnem is the daily recitation of prescribed Gurbani traditionally performed during Amrit Vela, before the activities of the day begin. It includes Japji Sahib, Jaap Sahib, and Tav-Prasad Savaiye, with additional morning banis commonly recited according to tradition and practice. The time shown here is an approximate morning reference; the essential association is with the early-morning period rather than a precise clock time.
Rehras Sahib is the evening Nitnem prayer, traditionally recited around sunset after the day's work. Its hymns express praise, gratitude, reliance on the Divine, and spiritual renewal at the close of the day. It is commonly followed by Ardas. This site uses local sunset as a practical reference, while individual and congregational practice may vary.
Kirtan Sohila is the nighttime Nitnem prayer, traditionally recited before going to sleep. Its five hymns reflect on praise of the Divine, the transience of life, and trust in God's presence and care. Unlike Rehras Sahib, its timing is connected primarily with retiring for the night rather than a particular solar event. The time shown here is a practical nighttime reference.
Sikhs observe Nitnem, the daily discipline of reciting prescribed prayers from Gurbani. Morning Nitnem is traditionally associated with Amrit Vela, the pre-dawn period; Rehras Sahib is recited in the evening; and Kirtan Sohila is recited before sleep. Exact clock times may vary with individual circumstances and local practice.
