NAROWAL: Three-day commemorations of Baba Guru Nanak’s death anniversary conclude at Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur.

The Sikh community from Pakistan as well as abroad alongside Ramesh Singh Arora attended the commemorations. More than three thousand pilgrims from across Pakistan and abroad paid homage at the gurdwara, performed rituals and visited sacred sites associated with Baba Guru Nanak.

At the second day of the commemorations, the pilgrims held a Nagar Kirtan procession with a flower-decorated central float that drew special attention. On the final day, they participated in collective prayers, kirtan and concluding rituals.

On the closing ceremony, Provincial Minister for Minority Affairs and President of the Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (PSGPC), Sardar Ramesh Singh Arora, joined the Sikh community in a tree planting drive and planted a sapling as a symbol of life and peace.

Addressing the gathering, Mr Arora said the land of Pakistan embodied the message of peace and teachings of Baba Guru Nanak.

“Kartarpur Sahib is a spiritual center for Sikhs across the globe, where devotees come with open hearts to offer their prayers. The Pakistan government remains fully committed to ensuring religious freedom for all minorities.”

Members of the PSGPC, head Granthi and members of Sikh community were also present.
