Punjab
The birth anniversary of Guru Nanak, Sikhism's most important pilgrimage in Pakistan, at Nankana Sahib and Kartarpur.
Each November, tens of thousands of Sikh pilgrims gather at Nankana Sahib, the birthplace of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, and at Kartarpur Sahib for Gurpurab, three days of continuous kirtan, nagar kirtan processions, langar, and devotion.
Nankana Sahib and Kartarpur are among the holiest sites in Sikhism. Gurpurab fills them with kirtan, processions, and the langar tradition shared with all visitors.
Cover your head, remove shoes, and follow stewards. Pilgrims and curious travellers alike are welcomed, especially around the community kitchen.
