Tight security arrangements were made around all leading Sikh shrines in Punjab.

The shrine complex was decorated with lighting since Diwali and Bandi Chhor Diwas in October.
Hymns were being rendered at the holy shrine and hundreds of other gurdwaras across the region to mark the occasion.
At other gurdwaras in cities, towns and villages, hundreds of people could be seen coming to offer prayers.
'Langars' (community kitchen), were arranged at most gurdwaras. Reports of Gurpurab celebrations were received from Nankana Sahib, the birthplace of the Guru Nanak Dev, 100 km from Lahore in neighbouring Pakistan.
