Holy Procession from Delhi to Nankana Sahib
Cheers, excitement, joy and above all reverence. These sentiments prevailed in the hearts of those during the recent procession of the holy 'Guru Granth Sahib' from the National Capital, New Delhi, to 'Gurudwara Nankana Sahib', the birthplace of Guru Nanak Dev, in Pakistan.
Sikh devotees carried their holy book on a golden palanquin and travelled 440 miles to place it at 'Nankana Sahib'. This historic procession, which is said to be the first of its kind since Partition of the country in 1947, displayed their faith and devotion.
As many as 2,000 Sikh devotees participated in the installation ceremony, which has brought the two nations closer. At 'Nankana Sahib' Captain Amarinder Singh, Chief Minister of Punjab handed over the palanquin to Punjab Province chief Chaudhary Pervez Elahi.
