Gurupurab
Gurpurab is a really special festival for people who follow Sikhism! It's like a birthday celebration for the Sikh Gurus, who are like important teachers and leaders.
Here's a simple way to understand it:
- Celebrating the Gurus:
- Gurpurabs celebrate the birthdays of the 10 Sikh Gurus.
- These Gurus taught important things about kindness, honesty, and helping others.
- Singing and Praying:
- People go to Sikh temples called Gurdwaras to sing special songs called "Gurbani" and say prayers.
- They also have processions called "Nagar Kirtan," where they sing and walk through the streets.
- Sharing Food:
- A really important part of Gurpurab is "Langar," which is a free community kitchen where everyone, no matter who they are, can eat together. It's a way of showing equality and sharing.
- Remembering Good Deeds:
- Gurpurabs are a time to remember the good things the Gurus taught and to try to be kind and helpful like they were.
So, Gurpurab is a happy and respectful festival where Sikhs celebrate their Gurus by singing, praying, and sharing food with everyone.
