LAHORE (The Thursday Times) — Amritsar ka Golden Temple hafte ki raat roshniyon ke tehwar Diwali se aik raat pehle jagmaga utha. Is ka sunehri markazi hissa aur muqaddas talab ke gird imaratein hazaron roshniyon se saji thin jin ka aks pani mein jhilmilata raha, jabke aqeedatmand rahdari par jama the.
Sikhon ke liye yeh din Bandi Chhor Divas bhi hai, jo chhate Sikh Guru, Guru Hargobind ki Gwalior ke qile mein qaid se rihai aur Amritsar wapsi ki yaad mein manaya jata hai, jab shehar ne un ke istiqbal ke liye chiragh jalaye the. Yeh muqaddas maqam, jise Sikh Harmandir Sahib kehte hain, tab se apne ahate ko roshan karne ki riwayat qaim rakhe hue hai. Is saal Diwali itwar ko hai.
Pakistan mein Hindu, jin ki bari tadad Sindh mein rehti hai, itwar ko Karachi se Tharparkar tak mandiron mein chiraghon, mithaiyon aur duaon ke saath yeh tehwar manayenge. Is maheene ke aakhir mein Bharat aur deegar mumalik se Sikh yatri Baba Guru Nanak Dev Ji ke 557wein janam din ke liye Nankana Sahib pahunchenge, jis ki tayyariyan jari hain.
