The Khanda is one of most important symbols of Sikhism (a religion that has over 23 million followers and was founded in the sixteenth century by Guru Nanak Dev Ji). Its importance is emphasized by the fact that many Sikh flags, including the Nishan Sahib have the Khanda on them. It is a collection of four weapons commonly used by Sikhs at the time of Guru Gobind Singh Ji .

The weapons are

* A double-edged sword called a Khanda sits in the middle.
* A Chakkar is a circular weapon that surrounds the Khanda
* Two single-edged swords, or kirpans, are crossed at the bottom and sit on either side of the Khanda and Chakkar. They represent the dual nature/duties of the Gurus, Miri and Piri.

The weapons have symbolic meanings. The Khanda symbolises knowledge of God, the Chakkar symbolizes the oneness of God, Miri means political sovereignty and Piri means spiritual sovereignty.
