Gur-ta- Gaddi
Tercentenary Celebrations |
In October 2008 Nanded will be Host to Gur-ta- Gaddi
Tercentenary Celebrations marking the 300th anniversary of
Parlok Gaman of Shri Guru Gobind Singhji as well as
consecration of Shri Guru Granth Sahib as the eternal Guru of
 Sikhs.
This event is planned to be celebrated with lot of fan and
fervor, as over 2.5 million pilgrims are likely to visit
Nanded. Large-scale festivities and celebrations are expected
to begin from April-May 2008 onward with the celebration of
Holi, followed by Baisakhi, Dussera and Diwali, before the Gur
ta Gaddi tercentenary celebrations. Each of these
events, in a normal course witness daily pilgrim turnovers of
75,000 to 100,000 – and the civic infrastructure is inadequate
to service the inflow. It is expected that about 25 lakh
pilgrims will visit Nanded in 2008 – the year that marks the
tercentenary of the Gur ta Gaddi and other religious events
related to Guru Gobind Singh’s last days before he left for
his heavenly abode.
