GURPURAB CELEBRATION

A Gurpurab is a celebration or commemoration based on the lives of one of the Sikh religion gurus. They tend to be either birthdays or celebrations of Sikh martyrdom. A Sikh festival or special day is called Gurpurb, meaning "Guru's remembrance day". The celebration is generally similar for all Gurpurab only the hymns and history of a particular occasion is different.

 

The birthday of Guru Nanak, the founder of the Sikh religion, usually comes in the month of November, but the date varies from year to year according to the lunar Indian calendar.
