Jaipur, Jan 6 (NationPress) On the momentous occasion marking the birth anniversary of the 10th Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh, Rajasthan's Deputy Chief Minister Diya Kumari paid tribute by offering flowers to the portrait of the revered guru at the Sarvatobhadra Chowk located in the City Palace, followed by a ceremonial worship of Guru Gobind Singh's historical sword preserved at the site.
During her address at the event, she emphasized the lasting inspiration derived from Guru Gobind Singh's legacy of sacrifice, bravery, and martyrdom.
A Shabad Kirtan was also hosted as part of the celebrations.

Guru Gobind Singh spent a considerable time in Nahan (Sirmaur district, Himachal Pradesh). Before departing from Nahan, he presented his sword to the then ruler as a gesture of remembrance.

She further remarked, "The saga of sacrifice, martyrdom, and valour of Guru Gobind Singh will always inspire us. This tale of sacrifice, martyrdom, and valour of Guru Gobind Singh is one of the inspirational chapters of Indian history. Guru Sahib not only served religion, justice, and humanity during his lifetime, but he also fought for the rights of the oppressed in society."
Earlier on Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also participated in the celebrations of Guru Gobind Singh Jayanti.
On the social media platform X, he expressed, "I bow to Guru Gobind Singh Ji on his birth anniversary. His thoughts inspire us to create a progressive, prosperous, and compassionate society."
