Birth of Guru Arjan Sahib (5th Guru) (Sikh)
May 2
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!
