Faith calendars
The sacred days of seven traditions, each kept by its own calendar. See them, plan around them, and add the ones that matter to you to your phone.
Fixed dates follow the Nanakshahi calendar; Guru Nanak Gurpurab and Bandi Chhor Divas follow the lunar calendar. Gurdwaras may follow different calendars; their announcement comes first.
- VaisakhiThe founding of the Khalsa in 1699 and the spring harvest.
- Martyrdom of Guru Arjan DevHonouring the fifth Guru, compiler of the Adi Granth.
- Installation of the Guru Granth SahibThe 1604 installation of the scripture at the Harmandir Sahib, Amritsar.
- Bandi Chhor DivasGuru Hargobind's release from prison with 52 princes, kept with prayer and light.
- Guru Nanak GurpurabThe birth of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, founder of the Sikh faith.
- Martyrdom of Guru Tegh BahadurHonouring the ninth Guru, who gave his life for freedom of faith.
Every tradition is shown by its own calendar and in its own words. If a date is wrong for your community, tell us and we will correct it. Contact
