Guru Nanak Jayanti

The birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev is celebrated every year as Guru Nanak Jayanti. This day is also known as Gurupurab. In 2023, we are celebrating it today on 27th November. 

Guru Nanak Dev was the founder of the religion Sikhism. He was the first of the ten Sikh Gurus. He was born in 1469 in the village which is now known as Nankana Sahib in Pakistan. He travelled across Asia to teach people about being kind and helpful to others. 

This year is the 554th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Ji. People all over the world from the Sikh community celebrate this day. They go to Gurudwaras, the place where Sikhs go to offer their prayers.
