Patna Sahib to Shine with 11,000 Diyas This Diwali – Celebrate Bandi Chhor Divas in an Eco-Friendly Way

A Bandi Chhor Divas Like Never Before

This year, Patna Sahib will witness a spectacular celebration as Takht Shri Harmandir is lit with 11,000 diyas for Bandi Chhor Divas. The festival isn't just about lights; it's a conscious effort to promote eco-friendly celebrations and environmental awareness. Devotees from across India are preparing with excitement to be part of this unique event.

Eco-Friendly Diwali Initiative

The gurudwara management committee has introduced an innovative approach to this year's celebrations. All 11,000 diyas are traditional clay lamps, reducing environmental impact. The initiative encourages communities to celebrate Diwali sustainably, spreading a powerful message of green living alongside devotion.

Religious Significance

Bandi Chhor Divas marks the historic release of Guru Hargobind Sahib, the sixth Sikh Guru, from Gwalior Fort by Emperor Jahangir. Guru Sahib also freed 52 other kings, demonstrating compassion and justice. Since then, Sikhs commemorate this day by lighting diyas, praying, and holding community gatherings, blending history and spiritual devotion.

Special Programs at Takht Shri Harmandir

On Bandi Chhor Divas, Takht Shri Harmandir will host bhajan-kirtan, spiritual discourses, and a special langar for devotees. Sikh families from all over India participate, creating a vibrant and united celebration that highlights the festival's religious and cultural significance.

Tradition of Diyas at Home

Families bring a lit diya from their home to the gurudwara, then light all other diyas at home with it. This sacred flame is believed to bring happiness, prosperity, and peace. Homes are also decorated with rangoli, adding color and joy to the festival.

Join the Celebration

Be part of this eco-friendly Bandi Chhor Divas and witness Takht Shri Harmandir illuminated by 11,000 diyas. Carry the flame of devotion and awareness back to your home, and celebrate tradition sustainably.
