Nirankar
Nirankar (Punjabi: ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰ ) is one of the many attributes associated to God in Sikhism and means The Formless One. The word has its roots in Sanskrit: ਨਿਰਾਕਾਰਾ/निराकारा nirākārā and is a compound of two words "Nir" meaning Without and Akar (or Akaar), Shape or Form; hence, The Formless. [1]
