Gurupurab celebrations commence with prabhat pheris- early morning processions that start at gurdwaras and continue through local neighbourhoods, where devotees sing hymns. These processions are led by panj pyaras, or the “five beloved ones,” who carry the Sikh flag, known as the Nishan Sahib, along with the Palki of Guru Granth Sahib. A 48-hour uninterrupted reading of the Guru Granth Sahib called the Akhand Path, is conducted in gurdwaras leading up to Gurpurab. Guru Nanak Dev’s three guiding principles- Naam Japana, Kirat Karna, and Vand Chhakna- encourage devotees to remember God’s name, work honestly, and share with others.
