November 23, 2018, marks the holy occasion of Guru Nanak Jayanti and celebrates the birth of the first guru of Sikhs, Guru Nanak. This festival is one of the most revered and auspicious ones for followers of Sikhism.
Gurpurab is celebrated on the birthdays of the ten gurus of Sikhism, who was responsible for shaping the beliefs of the Sikhs. The founder of Sikhism was Guru Nanak and he was born on April 15, 1469, in Rai-Bhoi-di Talwandi in the present Shekhupura District of Pakistan, now Nankana Sahib.
