The ‘Darshan Didar Yatra’, displaying the relics of three Sikhs Gurus, culminated amid religious fervour and great enthusiasm, after travelling throughout Punjab for the last 44 days.

The Yatra had begun on May 6 from Patiala. It was given a rousing welcome by everyone on its arrival.

A colourful religious procession was led by a motorcade carrying the Guru Granth Sahib and a specially-designed vehicle displaying relics of tenth master of Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh.

According to SGPC official, There are ten relics related to Guru Gobind Singh

Two relics are related to Guru Hargobind Sahib including a 46-inch-long sword and a 22-inch-long whip. There is a Siri Sahib related to Guru Teg Bahadar that has ‘Sat Sri Akal Guru Teg Bahadar’ engraved on it.

The major highlights of the procession were Sikh youths displaying traditional martial art Gatka and a brigade of Nihang Singhs sporting horses, camels and elephants and beating drums.

“These relics would be now permanently placed at Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib to enable devotees to have a glimpse of them. “ remarked the Chief Minister.

Celebrating the 350th foundation day of Sri Anandpur Sahib, rich legacy of Khalsa Panth was showcased.
Our younger generations are inspired by such events to apprise our glorious past and are motivated to lead a contended life filled with happiness, peace and prosperity.
