Gurpurab, also known as Guru Nanak Prakash Utsav or Guru Nanak Jayanti, marks the birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the first Sikh Guru and the founder of Sikhism. The occasion is celebrated with immense devotion and joy by Sikhs across the world. It falls on the full moon day of the Kartik month (Kartik Purnima) and is observed with prayers, kirtans, and langars in gurdwaras.
Guru Nanak Dev Ji, who dedicated his life to spreading the message of peace, unity, and equality, remains a beacon of wisdom and compassion. His teachings emphasize the oneness of God and the importance of selfless service to humanity. His hymns, preserved in the Guru Granth Sahib, continue to guide millions toward a life of truth and humility.
As prayers, processions, and devotional songs filled gurdwaras across the country, Kareena’s visit stood as a reminder of how faith transcends boundaries. Her simple yet respectful gesture resonated with many on this auspicious day, reflecting the spirit of love and gratitude that defines Gurupurab.
