Gurpurab, which is also called Guru Nanak Jayanti, is a sacred festival that marks the birth of the first guru of Sikhism – Guru Nanak Dev. The auspicious occasion is observed on the full moon date of Kartik month or Kartik Purnima every year.
The day is also celebrated as Parkash Utsav.
Devoted to the Divine from his childhood, Guru Nanak Dev was a man of peace who spent his entire life emphasising equality and tolerance.
He was born in 1469 at Rai Bhoi di Talwandi village, now known as Nankana Sahib, near Lahore in present-day Pakistan.
Guru Nanak composed many hymns, which were collected in the Adi Granth by Guru Arjan. He visited pilgrimage sites throughout India.
The main verses from the Guru Granth Sahib elaborate that the creator of the universe is one. His verses also propagate selfless service to humanity.
Prayers are being held in Gurdwaras on Gurpurab. The different aspects of the celebration go on till night. (ANI)
