Light and sound show puts spotlight on Guru Tegh Bahadur’s life, teachings

As part of the ongoing commemorations marking the 350th martyrdom anniversary of Guru Tegh Bahadur, a grand light and sound show titled “Hind Di Chadar” was held by Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs at the Saras Mela Ground in Sector 88.

The presentation, portraying the life, philosophy, and supreme sacrifice of the Guru left the audience deeply moved and spiritually uplifted.

The show depicted the voice of truth, justice, and human rights raised by Guru Tegh Bahadur, along with his devoted Sikhs — Bhai Mati Das Ji, Bhai Sati Das Ji, and Bhai Dayala Ji — who attained martyrdom at Chandni Chowk, Delhi, 350 years ago. Built around the immortal verse “Tilak Janju Rakha Prabh Ta Ka, Keeno Bado Kalu Mehak Saka”, the narrative unfolded through a digital spectacle combining sound, light and devotion.

The presentation covered the entire life sketch of Guru Tegh Bahadur — from his spiritual enlightenment and unmatched sacrifice — culminating in the creation of the Khalsa Panth, which carried forward the eternal message of courage, faith and righteousness.

Adding a traditional touch, the Kavishri Jatha led by Bhai Rajbir Singh recited Vaaran depicting the Guru’s martyrdom, while the congregation reverberated with Jaikaras of “Dhan Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji.” The atmosphere remained charged with spiritual fervor and devotion throughout the evening.

Prominent among those present at the event included Manish Sisodia,

Aam Aadmi Party’s Punjab in-charge, MLAs Kulwant Singh and Kuljit Singh Randhawa.
