Sikh celebrate gurpurb
Gurpurb is celebrated as a festival. It celebrates their Guru's remeberance. On the day they honor Guru Nanak and offer prayers. It is on the 24th November as that is the birthdate of Guru Nanak.
The Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture of Sikhism, is read from beginning to end during each Gurpurb. Gurpurbs are sacred Sikh holidays that commemorate the lives and teachings of the Sikh Gurus.
