Guru Nanak Jayanti is celebrated as the birth anniversary of the first Guru and founder of Sikhism, Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. On this occasion, special congregations, devotional singing (bhajan-kirtan), and processions (nagar kirtan) will be organised in Gurdwaras across various cities in Rajasthan. In cities like Jaipur, Alwar, Sri Ganganagar, Hanumangarh, and Bikaner, devotees will throng the Gurdwaras in large numbers to pay their respects and participate in the community kitchen (Langar) service.

Guru Nanak Dev Ji's birth anniversary is celebrated every year on the day of Kartik Purnima. This year, this date falls on November 5. Guru Nanak Ji imparted messages of equality, brotherhood, and service to society. His teachings continue to inspire people to walk the righteous path. This festival will be celebrated with devotion and reverence across the country, including Rajasthan.
