Guru Nanak Jayanti 2025
Guru Nanak Jayanti, also known as Gurpurab, will be celebrated on Wednesday, November 5.
This day marks the 556th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of Sikhism and the first of the ten Sikh Gurus. The festival is observed on the full moon day of the Hindu lunar month of Kartik. Celebrations typically begin with an Akhand Path (a 48-hour continuous reading of the Guru Granth Sahib) and include processions (Nagar Kirtan) and the serving of free communal meals (Langar), reflecting the Guru's timeless message of equality, honest living, and selfless service to all.
Note: The exchanges reserve the right to modify the trading schedule, if required. They may decide to close the market on days other than those listed as scheduled holidays or, open the market on days that were originally declared holidays. Such changes are usually made in response to special circumstances, administrative requirements or unforeseen events. In addition, the exchange may extend, advance or reduce trading hours whenever it considers such adjustments necessary to ensure smooth and orderly market operations.
