One of the most sacred festivals in Sikhism, Guru Nanak
Jayanti, also known as Guru Nanak Dev Ji's Prakash Utsav, marks the birth
anniversary of the first Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak. Apart from Sikhs, the
Nanakpanthi Hindus and other followers of Guru Nanak's philosophy also
celebrate this festival. The festivities in the Sikh religion revolve around
the anniversaries of the 10 Sikh Gurus. The birthday of Guru Nanak Sahib falls
on Kartik Poornima, i.e., the day of the full moon in the month of Kartik. In
the Gregorian Calendar, the birthday of Guru Nanak usually falls in the month
of November, but its date varies from year to year, based on the traditional
dates of the Indian calendar.
