By Ravinder Singh Robin
Tarn Taran (Punjab), June 16 : Thousands of Sikhs gathered at Darbar Sahib in Tarn Taran on Saturday to observe the 401st martyrdom day of Guru Arjan Dev, the fifth guru of the Sikhs.
"My father narrated me about the great sacrifice of Guru Arjun Dev Ji, so I along with my mother and family member reached here to pay respect to Guru Sahib" said a devotee Mahima Meet Kaur.
The anniversary, known as 'Guruparb,' is being observed across the country.
The youngest son of the fourth Guru, Ram Das, Arjun Dev was born at Goindwal, near Tarn Taran, in 1563 A.D. Guru Arjun was the founder-builder of Tarn Taran city.
His most significant contribution was the compilation of the Adi Granth in 1604 AD.
Gurdwara Sri Tarn Taran Sahib has the distinction of having the largest sarovar (Water pond) of all the gurudwaras.
