- SikhJoti Jot Purab of Guru Gobind Singh ji
- SikhPrakash Purab of Guru Nanak Dev jiKept on Kartik Purnima in both calendars.
How the dates are worked out
- SGPC dates are worked out from the traditional Bikrami tithi at sunrise in Sri Amritsar Sahib, and checked against the SGPC jantri for Sammat 558 (released by Sri Akal Takht Sahib in March 2026).
- The Sammat 559 jantri (from 14 March 2027) is not published yet; 2027 dates after March are computed by the same rule and marked as such.
- The original Nanakshahi calendar (2003) fixes most Gurpurabs on the same Gregorian date every year. Many Gurdwaras abroad follow it.
Questions people ask
Why are there two dates for some Gurpurabs?
In 2010 the SGPC amended the 2003 Nanakshahi calendar and went back to the traditional lunar dates for most Gurpurabs. Gurdwaras that follow the original calendar keep the fixed dates. We list both so you can follow your Gurdwara.
When is Guru Nanak Gurpurab?
On Kartik Purnima: 24 November 2026 and 14 November 2027. Both calendars keep this date.
When is Guru Gobind Singh ji's Prakash Purab?
By the SGPC jantri it falls on 15 January 2027 (Poh Sudi 7). The original Nanakshahi calendar keeps it on 5 January every year.
