Pctures of Celebration in India

 This is how India is celebrating Guru Nanak Jayanti

India celebrates Guru Nanak Jayanti or Gurpurab on Wednesday, the most sacred festival observed by Sikhs worldwide. Gurpurab marks the birth anniversary of Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism and the first of the 10 Sikh Gurus.

Celebrations begin a day before Gurupurab, with devotees singing hymns and prayers in praise of the guru and organizing processions.
