Birth of Guru Arjan Sahib (5th Guru) (Sikh)
April 15
The fifth Master, Guru Arjan, built the Golden Temple of Amritsar to emphasize that the Sikh way was open to all, regardless of caste; the gurdwara was constructed with doors facing all four directions. He compiled the hymns of Sikh Gurus and created the Adi Granth – the foundation of the Guru Granth Sahib – and installed it. He was also the first Sikh Guru to be martyred.
Traditional Greeting: “Vadhaaiaa Ji” – Congratulations!
