The Punjab government has finalized plans for year-long celebrations to commemorate the 650th Parkash Purb of Guru Ravidas, a significant figure in Indian spirituality. Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann led a meeting with the Sant Samaj in Chandigarh to outline various initiatives, including seminars, workshops, and special kirtan samagam. Public engagement activities will also be organized, such as documentary and drone shows, blood donation camps, school competitions, marathons, and cycle rallies. An environmental initiative aims to create Guru Ravidass Ji's ‘bagichi’ (gardens) across 650 acres of panchayat land, involving the plantation of 6.5 lakh saplings in each district. The main commemorative event will occur at Khuralgarh, where a special pendant will be unveiled. Mann emphasized the government's commitment to spreading Guru Ravidas' message globally, reflecting on his previous commemorative efforts for other significant figures.
