Gupta said the Yatra gives people a chance to reconnect with the Guru’s teachings. She added that his message of courage, sacrifice and equality still guides society. Moreover, she described him as a leader who defended faith and humanity with unmatched bravery. In a post on X, she called the event an opportunity to honour his ideals and lifelong service.

The Yatra will travel from Delhi to Anandpur Sahib, the sacred city where the Khalsa was founded. Devotees joined the march with saffron flags and devotional hymns. As a result, the atmosphere turned deeply spiritual and peaceful.

Guru Tegh Bahadur was born on April 1, 1621, in Amritsar. He was the youngest son of Guru Hargobind. Later, as the ninth Sikh Guru, he guided the community with calm strength, wisdom and compassion. His martyrdom on November 24, 1675, came after he chose to defend religious freedom, even at the cost of his life. Therefore, Sikhs remember him as “Hind di Chadar” — the Shield of India.

During the ceremony, Gupta prayed for peace, prosperity and harmony. She asked for the Guru’s blessings for the people of Delhi and the country. Additionally, she urged citizens to follow his path of truth and tolerance.

The Dhwaj Yatra will continue toward Anandpur Sahib. It carries a renewed resolve to uphold the Guru’s principles and promote unity in society.
