Guru Nanak Jayanti: Importance
The Sikh community celebrates the birthdays of all ten Sikh Gurus, but this one is especially noteworthy because Baba Nanak Ji is both the first guru and the father of the religion. Celebrations are conducted across the world, not just in India, where the Sikh community is predominant.
