Nishaan
Har Nishaan (हरि/ਹਰਿ) or Nishaan Sahib is a sacred symbol of the Ravidassia religion. The Har nishan is found atop the Ravidassias Bhawans or on the flag. The Har Nishaan is changed every year on the auspicious day of Guru Ravidass Jayanti. The Ravidassias, especially of Punjab, have hoist flags with the print of the insignia "Har" atop their religious places, and on vehicles during processions on the occasion of Guru Ravidass' birth anniversaries and other festivities.
Har Nishaan is the Ravidassia religious insignia. Strictly speaking "Nishaan" means "symbol" and is used in the Ravidassia context to mean the mantras passed down by the saints. This insignia is also known as the "Koumi Nishan" (Religious Symbol) of the Ravidassia religion. Both of these words, Har or Saunh, are directly or indirectly meant for meditation or reciting Ravidasia hymns. As downtrodden people, the Dalits were neither allowed to be educated nor could they afford to be so. The Guru Raidas spoke and communicated in the local dialect. This enabled the Dalits to enjoy and progress in understanding and communicating their philosophy. The Ravidassia Guru's name is Ravi, meaning sun. Har means Supreme Being. The universe is illuminated due to the sun; otherwise, it would be in darkness. The second half of his name is Das, meaning "servant," therefore the Satguru of the Ravidassia sect is the "Servant of Illumination." Har Nishaan can also be found on the first and fourth pages of Amritbani.
