Gurpurab 2026 dates
Major Sikh gurpurabs and related observances in 2026, listed from the SGPC / Akal Takht calendar published by SikhNet for Nanakshahi Samat 558. Where another tradition is independently reported, that date is labelled — we do not invent dates.
A gurpurab is the anniversary of a Guru’s Parkash (birth) or Shaheedi (martyrdom). Gregorian dates move when the observance is lunar. Confirm the diwan with your sangat — this directory does not set local hours.
