About Guru Nanak Gurpurab in brief
Guru Nanak Dev Ji Gurpurab is one of the most sacred festivals in Sikhism. It celebrates the birth of the first Sikh guru, Guru Nanak. The celebration is generally similar for all Sikhs; only the hymns are different.

However, many people and organizations would like to keep the traditional date by celebrating on the Full Moon Day of the Lunar Month Kartik. The celebrations culminate at around 2:a m. m. Guru Nanaks Jayanti is celebrated by the Sikh community all over the world and is especially important in the Punjab, Hana, Chandigarh and many locations like in parts of Pakistan and England.
