Anandpur Sahib, June 4

The celebrations of the 350th foundation day of Anandpur Sahib will start on June 17 with a seminar on Bebe Nanaki and the installation of a 70-foot high khanda.

Anandpur Sahib was founded by Guru Tegh Bahadur in 1665. It was first named Chakk Nanaki after the Guru’s mother Bebe Nanaki.
