Banks Will Also Remain Closed
Banks will also remain closed in many states and Union Territories (UTs) on the occasion of Guru Nanak Jayanti.

Significance of Guru Nanak Jayanti
Guru Nanak Dev Ji was the first Guru and founder of Sikhism. His birthday, known as Gurupurab, is celebrated with reverence and devotion across the country. This festival falls on Kartik Purnima, which typically falls in November. On this day, gurdwaras across the country organize morning processions, kirtans, langar seva, and processions. Guru Nanak Dev Ji preached equality, service, peace, and devotion throughout his life. This is why Guru Nanak Jayanti has become a festival of inspiration not only for the Sikh community but for people of all religions.
