20 October - Festival of the Sikh Holy Book
Guru Granth Sahib or Adi Sri Granth Sahib Ji (Punjabi ਗੁਰੂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ; also called Adi Granth or Adi Guru Darbar) is more than just a scripture of the Sikhs, as the Sikhs consider and respect the Granth (holy book) as their living Guru. The revealed sacred text comprises 1430 pages and contains the actual words spoken by the founders of the Sikh religion (the Ten Gurus of Sikhism).
Guru Gobind Singh, the 10th and last incarnate Guru of the Sikhs, installed the holy scripture Adi Granth as Guru Granth on October 20, 1708. Before his death, Guru Gobind Singh Ji decreed that the Sikhs should consider the Granth Sahib as their next and eternal Guru.
This day is now celebrated as Guru Gadi Divas (enthronement day). At the time of his death, Guru Gobind Singh declared that the Word of God embodied in the Guru Granth Sahib should be his spiritual successor for all time. He commanded his disciples: "It is an order to all Sikhs from now on to accept only the Granth".
