It's like their most important holiday!

Guru Nanak Gurpurab is a birthday party, but it's for a very special person who lived a long, long time ago. Sikhs celebrate this day to remember Guru Nanak and all the wonderful things he taught. They sing songs, share yummy food, and think about how to be kind, just like he was. It’s a day filled with joy and togetherness.

This celebration is super important because it honors the founder of Sikhism. Guru Nanak showed people how to live a good life, and his teachings are still followed today.
