Nirankar

Nirankar (Punjabi: ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰ, lit.'formless') is one of the many attributes associated to God in Sikhism and means The Formless One.

The word has its roots in the Sanskrit word nirākārā (Sanskrit: ਨਿਰਾਕਾਰਾ/निराकारा) and is a compound of two words: Nir meaning "without" and Akar (or Akaar), "shape" or "form"; hence, The Formless.

The term is used as one of the names of God by Sikhs.

It finds usage in the Guru Granth Sahib:

ਸਚ ਖੰਡਿ ਵਸੈ ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰੁ ॥

सच खंडि वसै निरंकारु ॥

Sacẖ kẖand vasai nirankār.

In the realm of Truth abides the Formless Lord.
