Nirankār, “without form”, emphasises God’s transcendence. Sikh teaching rejects the idea that God takes birth as an avatar and forbids idol worship; yet the Formless pervades all forms, and the Gurus speak of seeing God everywhere. Guru Nānak’s town of Kartārpur was named for God the Creator, Kartār.
