New Delhi: The auspicious occasion of Guru Gobind Singh Jayanti is also known as the Prakash Parv of the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji. It is the birth anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh and falls every year in December or January. On this day, devotees from all around the world send best wishes to one another and vow to follow the teachings and the path of Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
On this day, devotees gather and offer their prayers for blessings. Large gatherings are organised in which they sing devotional songs and share food with adults and children. This is followed by offering special prayers at gurudwaras, their place of worship. The food also plays a major role in the celebrations.
On this auspicious occasion, many devotees throng to Punjab’s Golden Temple to offer prayers and take a dip in the holy sarovar. This year, however, celebrations will remain subdued to the rising Covid-19 cases in the country.
