Sikhs who have been through the Amrit Ceremony of initiation become baptized Sikhs, take new names, and wear the 5 Ks. A Sikh can go through this initiation as soon as they are old enough to understand the full commitment that they are making. During the ceremony, hymns are recited from the Sikh scripture, prayers are said, and the principles of Sikhism are affirmed. Exclusive access to this ancient ceremony shows what happens when Sikhs become Amritaris.
