(ਪੰਜਾਂ ਪਿਆਰਿਆਂ ਦੀ ਚੋਣ)

The names of five gursikhs are suggested from amongst the Sangat (holy congregation). Their suitability is ascertained in camera (a separate room or enclosure) in the presence of Guru Granth Sahib after making sure that the individuals are leading their lives as prescribed by Guru Gobind Singh for them. A priest (ਗ੍ਰੰਥੀ) for the occasion is also selected in the like manner. Thus their selection is finalised. Thereafter they put on special robes and cross examine all seekers one by one for their suitability for initiation into Sikhism.
