Prayagraj: The Prakash Parv, commemorating the 400th year of the birth of Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth guru of Sikhs, culminated on Saturday. The celebrations, that kicked off across the country on April 12, ended today. Despite the restrictions of the Covid-19 pandemic, the celebrations bear special significance in terms of Sangam city wherein the gurudwara ‘Pakki Sangat’ is located. The gurudwara, which was visited by the Guru himself in the 17th century, is located at the Aiyapur locality of the city and finds a special place among the Sikh community.
The 9th Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji Maharaj, arrived in 1666 and stayed at this place for six months and meditated at the banks of Sangam. This place also bears historical significance as Mata Gujri Devi conceived here the 10th Guru of the Sikh community, Guru Gobind Singh, who was later born in Patna.
