The auspicious occasion of Guru Nanak Jayanti gripped the nation. Devotees thronged Gurdwaras at various places. The festivity, also known as Gurpurab, Guru Nanak Jayanti or Prakash Parv marks the birth anniversary of first Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak Dev Ji. This year, the festival is being celebrated on November 30.
The day holds greater significance for Sikhs and is revered as one of their most important festivals. In Sikhism, birthdays of the 10 Gurus are observed as major festivals and widely celebrated. It is their teachings which the Sikhs follow to tread on their life path.
Here's how India celebrated Gurpurab.
