Nagar Kirtan 26th Oct'25 Sri Guru Singh Sabha Ulsoor Bangalore 🙏

A Nagar Kirtan is a Sikh religious procession that typically involves the singing of hymns (kirtan) and travels through various streets of a town or city. "Nagar" means "town," and "Kirtan" refers to devotional singing, so a Nagar Kirtan is essentially a "town hymn procession." These processions are usually organized to celebrate significant Sikh festivals, like Guru Nanak Gurpurab (the birth anniversary of Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism) or Vaisakhi (the Sikh New Year and harvest festival that also commemorates the founding of the Khalsa).

Here’s what usually happens during a Nagar Kirtan:

1. Palki Sahib and Guru Granth Sahib: The Guru Granth Sahib (the Sikh holy scripture) is placed on a beautifully decorated Palki Sahib, which is often led by the Panj Pyare.


2. Kirtan and Singing of Hymns: Participants sing Gurbani (hymns) from the Guru Granth Sahibji


3. Langar (Free Community Kitchen): Throughout the procession, free food and drink (Langar) are offered to all attendees and passersby, a tradition central to Sikh values of service and equality.


4. Sword Display (Gatka): Gatka, a traditional Sikh martial art, is often showcased during Nagar Kirtans. Sikh warriors, known as Nihangs, perform martial arts with swords, sticks, and other traditional weapons


5. Community and Celebration: The atmosphere is celebratory, with vibrant decorations, dhol (drum) beats.



Nagar Kirtans serve as a reminder of Sikh heritage, bringing communities together in unity and devotion, and spreading the teachings of Sikh Gurus to a wider audience.

Wahe Guru 🙏
