Guru Nanak Dev Ji Gurpurab (Punjabi: ਗੁਰੂ ਨਨਕ ਗੁਰਪੁਰਬ (Gurmukhi)), also known as Guru Nanak's Prakash Utsav (ਗੁਰੂ ਨਨਕ ਦ ਪ੍ਰਕਸ਼ ਉਤਸਵ), celebrates the birth of the first Sikh guru, Guru Nanak.[6] One of the most celebrated and important Sikh gurus and the founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak Dev is highly revered by the Sikh community. [7] This is one of the most sacred festivals in Sikhism, or Sikhi.[8] The festivities in the Sikh religion revolve around the anniversaries of the 10 Sikh Gurus. These Gurus were responsible for shaping the beliefs of the Sikhs. Their birthdays, known as Gurpurab, are occasions for celebration and prayer among the Sikhs.[9]
The celebration is generally similar for all Sikhs; only the hymns are different. The celebrations usually commence with Prabhat Pheris. Prabhat Pheris are early morning processions that begin at the Gurudwaras and proceed around the localities singing hymns. Generally, two days before the birthday, Akhand Path (a forty-eight-hour non-stop reading of the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy book of the Sikhs) is held in the Gurdwaras.[19]
Happy Birthday Guru
The day prior to the birthday, a procession, referred to as Nagarkirtan,[20] is organised. This procession is led by the Panj Pyaras (Five Beloved Ones).[21][22] They head the procession carrying the Sikh flag, known as the Nishan Sahib and the Palki (Palanquin) of Guru Granth Sahib.[23] They are followed by teams of singers singing hymns[22] and devotees sing the chorus. There are brass bands playing different tunes and 'Gatka' teams display their swordsmanship through various martial arts and as mock battles using traditional weapons.[21][20] The procession pours into the streets of the town. The passage is covered with banners and gates are decorated flags and flowers, for this special occasion.[21][20] The leaders spreading the message of Guru Nanak.[21]
On May 28th 2014, the Punjab Assembly adopted a resolution tabled by MPA Ramesh Singh Arora to declare birthday of Baba Guru Nanak a public holiday in Pakistan from 2014 onwards. This resolution has not become enacted, so there is no public holiday in Pakistan.

Guru Gobind Singh Ji was the 10th Sikh Guru of Nanak. He was born at Patna, Bihar, India, on December 22, 1666. His birthday sometimes falls either in December or January or even both months in the Gregorian calendar. The annual celebration of the Guru's birthday is based on the Nanakshahi calendar.
Guru Gobind Singh is an inspirational figure in the history of Sikhism because of his ancestors, as well as the steps he took for Sikhs in his lifetime. Singh was the son of the ninth Sikh guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur. After his father was killed by Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, Singh became a Sikh leader when he was merely nine years of age. Throughout his life, he fought against Muslim rulers and the injustices that were committed by them. Singh became such a popular name not only because of his skills as a warrior, but because he lived his life to set an example for others. He not only mastered the art of fighting, but also focused on spreading his philosophical teachings in the Sikh community.
