‘Jagruti Yatra’ reaches Adilabad

Staff Reporter

The nine-month-long yatra is on its last leg



HOLY RITUAL: The Panj Pyaras lead the main vehicle carrying the Palki of Guru Granth Sahib during the ‘Guru Manyo Granth Jagruti Yatra’ in Adilabad on Thursday.

ADILABAD: The nine-month-long ‘Guru Manyo Granth Jagruti Yatra’, an effort to reach out to the Sikh community across the country with an intention to awaken and unite them, reached Adilabad on Thursday on its last leg.

Local Sikh and Punjabi community received the yatra at the Jamdapur crossroad on NH 7.

The cavalcade includes the main vehicle modified in the shape of a Gurudwara with the sanctum sanctorum where an old handwritten copy of the Adi Granth is seated and weaponry from the times of the 10th Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh.

The yatra is organised by the Gurudwara Sachkhand Board, Nanded in Maharashtra in connection with the tercentenary celebrations of Gurta Gaddi. This is the place where the Guru Granth Sahib was elevated as the exalted Guru of followers of Sikhism by Guru Gobind Singh in October 1708.

S. Rajender Singh, yatra in-charge for South India and Nanded Mayor Sardar Balwant Singh Gadiwale accompanied the entourage from Akola to Nizamabad.
