PRAKASH PURAB: Prakash Purab Celebrated with Devotion and Grandeur

The first Prakash Purab of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji was celebrated with great devotion and enthusiasm at the historic Golden Temple in Amritsar, Punjab. Thousands of devotees from India and abroad visited Sri Harmandir Sahib to pay their respects and seek blessings. As part of a tradition dating back more than 400 years, the Golden Temple complex was beautifully illuminated with lights and traditional desi ghee diyas in the evening. A spectacular fireworks display was also organised, adding to the festive atmosphere. The tradition dates back to 1604, when the fifth Sikh Guru, Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji, installed the Adi Granth at Darbar Sahib. This historic event is commemorated as the Prakash Purab of Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also extended greetings on the occasion and highlighted the teachings of Guru Sahib as a source of guidance and inspiration for humanity.
