When you start your paath or meditation it is essential that you take a full bath and maintain your cleanliness throughout the day, this includes wearing clean clothes.
The Prayers can be done at Home or in the Gurdwara, it is your preference .
Every time you meditate or do paath, it is essential that you cover your head. It is a required mark of respect when reciting Gurbani.
