To mark the 555th birth anniversary of the first Sikh master, Guru Nanak Dev, the Nexus Amritsar today lighted 1,000 diyas simultaneously in its indoor central atrium.

The extraordinary celebration earned it a place in the India Book of Records, symbolising the festival’s spiritual significance, promoting tradition and unity.

The event also honoured the contributions of traditional associates and encouraged community spirit through volunteer participation.

Col Mandeep Singh, Centre Director, Nexus Amritsar Mall, said lighting 1,000 diyas was more than just a milestone— it was a heartfelt celebration of tradition, unity and community spirit.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
