LAHORE: To celebrate the 549th birth anniversary of Baba Guru Nanak DevJee, Over 2,600 Sikh pilgrims arrived from India at Wagah Railway Station on Thursday, 2 November. The Sikh Yatrees will participate in the religious and cultural rituals to mark the day with great respect.

Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB) Chairman Siddiq ul Farooq welcomed the Sikh pilgrims at Wagah. He was accompanied by Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee Pardhan Sardar Tara Singh, Sardar Bishon Singh, Additional Secretary Shrines Tariq Khan Wazir and other ETPB officials.

Farooq stated that the arrangements for the celebrations have been finalised by the board and it has been ensured that ETPB provides foolproof security alongside transport, accommodation and other facilities to the visiting pilgrims.

Speaking on the occasion, group leader Sardar Gurmeet Singh said Sikh pilgrims have come to Pakistan with the message of love, peace, friendship and harmony.

“Pakistan is the land of Sikh gurus and Sikhs love this land. We are always welcomed with love and it is a true example of Sikh-Muslim friendship,” he maintained.

Earlier in the day, Pakistan High Commission in Delhi issued visas to over 2,600 Indian Sikhs who planned to make a pilgrimage to Gurdwara Punja Sahib in Hassanabdal.

The visas were issued “in line with the Pakistan government’s efforts to promote religious tourism and people-to-people interactions,” a statement from the foreign office read.

Soon after their arrival, the pilgrims left for Janum Asthan of Baba Guru Nanak at Nankana Sahib.

The birth anniversary celebrations of Baba Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, will commence from November 2.

The main function of the festival will be held at Nankana Sahib on November 4, where the pilgrims will perform sacred rituals. After that, the devotees will leave for Punja Sahib, Hassanabdal. They will return to Lahore on November 9.The pilgrims will head back to India on November 11.

Every year, devotees from all over the world gather at Gurdwara Punja Sahib in Hassanabdal to celebrate Baba Guru Nanak’s birth anniversary. The celebrations last for more than a week during which sacred rituals are performed at the Gurdwara and sweets and langar are offered, irrespective of religious orientation.
