Religious fervour marked the celebrations held at Gurudwara Sahib Nanak Nagar in Hanamkonda which has a history of 250 years. The Sikh community members from Nanded, Bidar, Hyderabad and Karimnagar participated in the celebrations.
Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee members Mahender Singh, Mohkam Singh, Chatarpal Singh, Kamal Singh and Jaspal Singh led the celebrations in a traditional manner. The religious heads said Guru Gobind Singh made great sacrifices fighting the then Mughal emperors for protecting Hindu Dharma.
The community members were advised to live the life in accordance with the preachings of great Gurus. Hindu-Muslim Unity leader Hafiz Abdur Rahman Chaturvedi who addressed the gathering stressed on religious harmony saying that all religions were one and people should live as brothers as preached by the Sikh Gurus.
