Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the Gurpurab celebrations of Guru Nanak Dev Ji at Gurudwara Lakhpat Sahib in Kutch, Gujarat tomorrow through video conferencing. Every year from 23rd December to 25th December, Sikh Sangat of Gujarat celebrate the Gurpurab of Guru Nanak Dev at this Gurudwara. Guru Nanak Dev had stayed at Lakhpat during the course of his travels.
Gurudwara Lakhpat Sahib has his relics including wooden footwear and palkhi as well as manuscripts and markings scripts of Gurmukhi.
The Gurudwara had suffered damages during the 2001 earthquake. The then Gujarat Chief Minister, Narendra Modi, had undertaken urgent efforts to ensure repair of the damages.
This step showed the deep reverence of the Prime Minister for the faith, as also reflected in multiple recent endeavours. This include the celebrations of 550th Parkash Purab of Guru Nanak Dev, 350th Parkash Purab of Guru Gobind Singh, and 400th Parkash Purab of Guru Tegh Bahadur.
